Hi everyone. I've noticed over the past few days that my ear feels blocked. I have no other symptoms associated with so I'm just assuming a build up of ear wax. What can I do for this ??? Im pregnant so have to be cautious of what I use. Thanks In advance!

I always use olive oil to soften ear wax. A couple of drops each evening before bed seems to work for me.

Olive oil twice a day for at least a week. Put it in, lie on your side for 5 mins, then same the other side. Don't put cotton wool in your ear.

My mum used this and it was excellent.

Thank you. I've been given some olive oil drops from the chemist so hopefully it works

Have just been into our hearing center - was told to use just one drop of oil in each ear for two nights and see how that helps.
