Blocked Ears

[millwalll]

Hi all I am having trouble with one my ears cant hear out of them in the morning think they may be blocked is there anything I can get to clean them ?

Don't put anything in your ears. Go and see your doctor.

[millwalll]

oh is there no sort drop you can get as I really dislike doctor's

[fabwitch]

You can use pure Olive Oil which you can get from the chemist to clear blocked ears but do see your GP incase your eas are infected or ou may need them syringed

[full-time-mum]

Try and overcome your disklike of doctors and get them checked. Life without hearing is incomprehensible.

Maybe you can book in to see the nurse, if they are just blocked with wax, she may be able to sort it out without actually seeing the GP - or does your dislike extend to all types of medical practioners?

I have just seen this post - went to the doctors yesterday for same thing and nurse washed out my ear but gave me a leaflet which said the best thing is to put room temperature olive oil in the ear twice a day for seven days.
Said she had been on a course about this
Hope this helps
