A member asked:
Im told that u can soften earwax or use alcohol to remove fluid. anyway i can figure out which one to try? or can it try both with no worries?

Ear wax: Would avoid alcohol, but can try ear wax cleaning systems. If not successful, go see ENT doctor who can clear the ears the safest.
