In agony from ear wax build up

[longtimebrowser]

Delightful I know but I am in complete agony from a build up of ear wax (confirmed by nurse). I've been advised to book an appointment privately but I can't get a slot for another week
To try and ease the pain and help clear the wax I am:

• alternating olive oil and Otex ear drops
• washing out ears with Otex bulb and under a running tap
• hot bath
• ibuprofen every 4 hours

What else I can do??? Was hoping for a nice weekend but can't move from bed at the moment!

My DD had really bad ear wax build up a while ago.

I put warm olive oil in her ear for a few days then flushed her ear with saline water using this

Lots of crap came out of her ear but ear was still blocked. Put olive oil in her again that evening, flushed ear out again in the morning and lots more earwax came out and she could hear again.

Was disgusting and fascinating at the same time.
