Hello,
I have a build up of wax in my ear and in trying to get rid of it myself with drops and a home irrigation kit I have completely glued my ear (painfully) shut (nothing came out). I know I was stupid but they sell them at Sainsburys pharmacy so I didn't know it was stupid at the time.
I saw the GP who gave me anti biotics in case I've introduced infection (I have no fever) and said to use olive oil and come back for syringing. He said he could just see a 'wall of wax' in the ear so couldn't tell if it was infected or not. I'm feeling extremely hesitant to have MORE water put in my ear and have booked a private appointment for microsuction on Tuesday instead. I'm taking the anti bs but they're not making any difference.
My ear is really sore, I think due to the pressure. It especially hurts if I get an air bubble that tries to pop my ear and it doesn't pop just does a horrid spongy feeling and hurts. :(
Has anyone had microsuction or syringing? Can you please share your experiences about the procedure and if it helped? I'm really anxious about messing further with my ear but I have about 15% hearing in it currently and it's affecting my life.
Thank you.
