A member asked:
I have my ear wick in since thursday, is it okay to take it out now on my own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You put an ear wick in to remove the wax (cerumen) in the ear canal. If it has not fallen out spontaneously then you can try to remove it on your own or have someone do it for you. You do not usually need a doc to do it for you but if you are nervous see your doc.
