How can I treat earwax buildup at home?

Patient's Query

I cant hear properly for last 7 days (left ear) I think, its because of heavy ear wax. I once had this problem. So i guessed it. Now what should i do?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Ear wax buildup blocks sound. That could explain he­aring trouble. You hear worse in one­ ear. Also, ear fullness, and discomfort too. Try e­ar drops first, and soften the wax. If that doesn't work, see an ENT specialist. The­y can remove the wax safely.

I have stuffy and runny nose since 3 weeks, have been using decongestants that provided some relief, but since last 3 days it is worse, continues runny nose all day, at the same time the nose is stuffy and heavy. Mucus from runny nose is mostly clear. In the morning I might cough out some yellow mucus.

Female | 37

You may have sinusitis or a sinus infection. Stuffy and runny nose with clear mucus are common symptoms of sinusitis. The yellow mucus that you cough up in the morning is a sign that it may be bacterial. To relieve congestion, try applying a warm compress across your face and seek medical attention for further assessment.

I am a 54 yr old female . I got tinnitus and earache last year. The earache remains, stinging, sharp deep pain every day. No infections seen or other symptoms. I only got a clicking jaw this week. Ear was cleaned of excess fluid and was neurotic last year. I had been given lots ear drops over mths as thought was infections but consultant told me no infections. I think it may me nerve pain. Pain relief don't help much. What can I do to relieve the stinging, burning feeling

Female | 54

The like­ly cause of this is nerve pain. Pills for othe­r pains won't help this. You need to se­e a ENT specialist who deals with ne­rve pain. They will find the right tre­atment for you.

Please continue on the steroids as they are the only way to provide some stimulus to the hearing nerve in this situation. There are other medications that can be given to increase blood supply to the nerve but the best chance of nerve recovery is within the first one or two days after which the chances are unpredictable and low in most cases. Please take a follow up consult your ENT surgeon as they will keep a close watch on improvement in the nerve which usually isn't something you will be able to perceive by yourself. You need to have repeat hearing testings to watch for improvement. In all cases, do not stop the steroid abruptly!

Good evening,,i have alot of mucus even while am not sick,which medicine should i use to stop mucus

Female | 22

Dealing with e­xcess mucus without illness fee­ls very bothersome. The­ mucus might happen due to allergie­s, irritants, or weather changes. An ove­r-the-counter saline nasal spray he­lps. It thins mucus, so you clear your nose easie­r. But read instructions carefully on medication labe­ls.

I am having throat pain(itchy type) along with ear pain for three weeks. I have taken normal antibiotics but is not working

Male | 37

You likely have a throat infection along with ear pain. The antibiotics you refused might not have helped if it's a viral infection since antibiotics only work on bacterial infections. Throat infections can be caused by viruses like the common cold. Resting your voice, drinking warm liquids, and using throat lozenges can help. If the discomfort continues, seeing a doctor is the best choice.

My name is umar khan . I have problem in speaking diseability . I want for operation for my clear voice . if possible or speech therapy

Male | 24

You are having trouble talking clearly. This can happen due to various factors like vocal cord issues or muscle weakness. In place of surgical procedures, speech therapy should be the first step. It is important to conduct speech therapy involving exercises that can develop your speech. One of the primary methods is to try this gentler approach so that it becomes clear if it works before moving on to other solutions.
