How do I remove wax buildup from my ear?
Earwax is a natural substance that protects the ear canal from bacteria and other foreign invaders. When it accumulates over time, it can cause hearing loss and ear infections. Some people notice buildup in their ears and feel a slight itch when they touch their ears. Others notice a burning sensation when they scratch it.
The best way to remove wax buildup in your ears is to use a cotton swab to gently push the wax out of the ear. It's important to be gentle as you push the wax out. You don't want to damage the ear drum or put too much pressure on it.
Does hydrogen peroxide dissolve ear wax?
