What to do if i have a lot of earwax buildup in both ears. are there any cures beside q-tips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear wax: There really isn't a cure. You make ear wax every day. Some people make more than others. Qtips are often improperly used and what i often see is the wax is pushed down the ear canal so far that they only way to get it out is to see an ENT specialist. There are some earwax cleaning systems with various brand names like debrox or cerumenex. Sometimes they are effective, but be careful.
