Yes it can, if there's enough of it. If there#s a lot of it you can end up with an infection building up behind the wax.

How's his hearing - if it's a lot of wax that's causing the pain it might be making him a bit hard of hearing as well.

Might still be the wax. Another trip to the GP, maybe.

Yes, agree with WWB. Ear wax can make your ear quite sore. But it might also be something else - best to get it checked.

Hope ds is better soon Cod.

I can't help it, everytime i see a thread about ears or hearing, I just want to type "Pardon?". I've resisted the urge so far though.

Pmsl. Quite often I just work my way down the list of active convo's giving my really helpful one word answers - yes, no, bollocks etc. Might actually do that tomorrow.
