The note on the label is something the companies lawyers told them to add. The idea is to make you check with the doc if you need it longer. If the doc says do it you should. They have day to day experience in this area. You may just be able to avoid a technically difficult office procedure.

After clearing my ears with Debrox, my ears are still feeling partially clogged. I visited my physician and ENT and they said it was not wax nor fluid, and my eardrums looked fine. Its not TMJ, either. Clogged feeling is getting worse. What is it?

Ear wax stuck in ear? I took a shower last night and i still have some sort of water/wax buildup impairing my hearing in my left ear. I tried dropping rubbing alcohol in it and using an expired tube of debrox, but no luck, yet also no physical pain.
