A member asked:
I will do an earwax removal tomorrow and i used oil drops in order to soften the wax. i put way too much oil. can it be removed by the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: Ear wax removal at a doctor's office will usually clear the entire ear canal if the patient already softened up the wax with oil drops or ear wax drops. There is no worry about how many drops the patient used, as everything in the canal usually comes out.
