My son just got his ears cleaned at the ENT. My daughter a few years back. It was pretty stuffed up.
This usually doesn’t happen i was trying to clean my ears lol but i have no funds for the ent is why i was wondering if there was any home remedies i could try 😭
I've the opposite problem. I'm too anxious to try any home remedies.
Thank you for your advice 😇I appreciate it 💖
Hydrogen peroxide ratio 1:1 with water. I have to do this sometimes as I have narrow ear & sinus passages so my ears get plugged. You use a dropper and have some paper towel lay down add about 5 drops to ear let it fizz bubble after around 8 min have the paper towel against your ear and sit up let it flow from your ear into the towel. Then do the other side. I usually do it 3 days in a row

I will try i get scared putting stuff in my ears because last time i did i got a bad ear infection 😭but i will still give it a try thank you for the advice. One
More thing does it matter what kind of ear wax cause i feel like its really sticky lol 😭
in reply to nicky602279
You won’t get an ear infection from doing this look it up online that’s how I figured out how to handle mine. It feels really weird hearing the fizzing it doesn’t hurt and it feels so good once it’s clear
nicky602279 in reply to
Will it still help if its that sticky ear wax ?I believe it’s sticky because i push the side of my ear and it clogs then i yawn and i hear it separate-if that makes sense 🥺 I repeat it and it does the same so I think it’s stick it’s probably stuck on something in my ear 😣
in reply to nicky602279
Yes. It gets rid of it. I wonder if you have post nasal drip. You might want to consider irrigating your nose with saline too.
nicky602279 in reply to
Idk if i have post nasal lol 😭 but 1:1 ratio i use the cap as a measurement from the peroxide bottle .
in reply to nicky602279
Good give it a go for a few days see how you do.
nicky602279 in reply to
It doesn’t work right away ? You have to do it at least 3x a day ? Or how much you want a day ?
in reply to nicky602279
Yes it works right away. It just depends on how much build up you have. You do once a day no more. You may need one dose or do another next day. You can tell by the amount of fizz and how you hear
nicky602279 in reply to
I did it a lot today but it had fizz every time i did it 😭 . And do you know if i can put my sweet oil after ? 😭
in reply to nicky602279
Don’t over do this as it will cause dryness in your ear. Good it fizzed do it again tomorrow. Just hold a warm facecloth over your ear several times a day.
Tilt your head or best to lie on side. Have someone drop 2 drops of the olive oil into your ear and stay lying down in that position for 5 minutes. Do this twice a day for up to a week.
If possible slightly warm the oil by placing in jeans pocket for half an hour first (don't heat!)
If all the wax has not come out by then you might need to have it removed by suction.
Do you have to pay to see your doctor? Do you have to pay to go the ER?
Do you have any pain or feeling of pressure? If so you may need to he seen by your doctor or at the ER.
ps
Did you know that, enerally speaking, we are not supposed to put anything into the ears to clean them.
Hope it comes out ok x
I don’t have olive oil but i do have that sweet oil which is for the ears 😭 i hope its not hard to come out I accidentally pushed it in when i was trying to clean my ears 
and yes i do sadly ! And no pain at all it just feels like something is stuck like a cotton ball it just feels weird i think I pushed the wax on my eardrum because my hearing is kind of muffled 😣 and i know never stick anything in my ears just last night idk what i was thinking 😭
Sweet Oil is Olive Oil x
Don’t use that, go to the drug store, and they will give you the best product, it should come with a bulb type thing that you put water in, after you put the product it wait a few minutes , then plunge the water in ,with you ear down, you will see the wax come out. Use a bowl to see the earwax come out.❤️
nicky602279 in reply to
I did go one time and the pharmacist did tell me about that oil i just didn’t know how to use it like if i was supposed to leave it in or let it dry in there 😭 i do have a bulb type thing but i get scared to use it because last time i did i got an ear infection but i think that’s because i let the water sit in my ear 😭
in reply to nicky602279
If you tip you head down to the sink with ear your doing the oil with, or bowl while doing it the water will come out immediately, plus the wax in there. You do not stand up straight. If you need more help write me. Oh first you put the oil in tiling you head, leaving it there about two min, then do the water part.
I use Olive oil, however I do not know what sweet oil .is My Doctor in the past has washed out my ears with a ear cleaning device
You can purchase various oils to loosen the wax at a chemist, Depending on what has happened you need to visit your Doctor, Remember damage to the Ear Drum is possible if you use various objects to push into the ear canal

I think Olive Oil is also known as Sweet Oil in the US.
nicky602279 in reply to
It says it loosens wax but I don’t know i wanna try it but then im scared lol 😭 i can’t afford a doctor right now is why i was wondering if there was home remedies 😣 i was doing fine up until i pushed the ear wax back it’s just an uncomfortable feeling .
in reply to nicky602279
We used to warm the oil on a teaspoon, then pour it into the ear canal, the warmth of the oil helps to release the wax. Do not use cotton buds they can damage the ear.
I use a plug of cotton wool that can be held within your fingers. There are medications at a chemist that can work. Your Doctor will have a tool to pass water into the ear canal, this pulses the water and breaks the hold of the wax that returns to a small contain below the tub. I once knew a girl that had to get her ears done at the doctors every twelve months. Nothing to worry about

Stop stuffing stuff in your ears
like advices lol
Oh boy, can't wait to see what you came up with here.
Will have to check this out later.
😬
Very surprising ending. Lots of suspense
oh Yeah better out than in
I usually don’t lol it was just yesterday idk what i was thinking and I decided to clean my ears I usually don’t because i heard wax is good but me being dumb i use a q-tip and now im in this situation 😕
Oh yeah I’ve done it a few times....feels like a good idea at the time 😊
Plain olive oil you get at the chemists is best. Just put it into your ear and it should melt the wax. It will take a few days. This is why they say never clean right inside your ears with any thing small than your elbow!
I don’t have that i just have what I posted which supposedly says it’s to soften ear wax 😭 and i know idk what i was thinking!
Ear wax candles. Old remedy but works well.
Im trying to remain calm but my anxiety gets the best of me sometimes . When it comes to things with my ears it’s just the feeling !
My wars have bee fine I haven’t ever had problems its just my dumb self decided to clean with a cotten swab and i pushed some wax back 🥺 but thanks for the info !
How are doing I saw you ear was better
