I'm dealing with a blocked ear and tried using soliwax for four days. Instead of getting better, it feels like it's more blocked. How can I get the wax out? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It seems like the earwax is impacted and not coming out with the use of Soliwax. You can try using Debrox ear drops to soften the wax. Put 5 to 10 drops in the affected ear and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to let the drops penetrate. You can then rinse your ear gently with warm water using a bulb syringe to help remove the softened wax. If the blockage persists, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allCan using nasal saline spray really help protect us from getting infected by black fungus? I'm curious about how this works and if it's something I should consider.
Nasal saline spray like Solespre can help in keeping the nasal passages moist and clear, which may potentially reduce the risk of fungal infections. However, it is important to note that nasal saline spray alone may not be sufficient to prevent black fungus infection. It is essential to maintain good hygiene practices and seek medical attention if any concerning symptoms arise.

I've been having ear discharge and I'm worried my eardrum might have a hole can this heal without surgery or do I need to see a doctor right away
A ruptured eardrum, or a tear in the eardrum, often heals on its own within a few weeks. However, if you're experiencing ear discharge, especially if it's bloody or purulent, or if you have persistent pain or hearing loss, it's important to see a doctor, even if the tear seems to be healing
