I have experienced 2 days of strong ear pain. family doc checked my ears and said ear wax was hiding my ear drum. he recommended i use baby oil drops , but will it help?

There are treatment kits for ear wax, available in any pharmacy without prescription. Probably this will be more effective than baby oil.

Hello. Ear wax may have multiple different appearances. Crusty wax that presents at the opening of the ear is working its way out like nature intended. See your doctor if the wax builds and affects your hearing. Make sure the doctor checks your ears every year for your annual physical. He/she can clean your ears if needed. Debrox drops provide a wax softening agent with a peroxide that works well.

That much wax buildup should require a visit to a qualified ENT physician.
