How long will it take to rid my ear of wax using over-the-counter wax remover drops, after unsuccessfully having my ear flushed at the dr's office?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drop & irrigate: If the drops work effectively in softening / loosening the wax, you may often get the entire lump of wax out at once with irrigation. This is the more common result.
