A member asked:
Peroxide ear drops haven't worked for ear wax build up. should i try olive oil drops and/or flushing with water using a bulb syringe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should see an ENT doctor or an audiologist to have the wax removed if the current ear drops are not working. It is not a good idea to continue to treat this yourself as you can end up with an ear infection or an injury to your ear canal or even your ear drum. So, see an ENT doctor or audiologist for continued treatment. Good luck!
