    Half strength hydrogen peroxide (mix with water) and wash out with warm water using one of those ear things (aka ear syringe). Let the peroxide set for five or ten minutes in your ear, whenever it stops bubbling. Make sure it's not the peroxide you bleach your hair with.

    This is assuming that it's ear wax, of course. And the directions come from my mom, who's a nurse.

    Before you even try that, go see a doctor. Best possible answer there. No offense to your mom Saint.

    If it's just a clogged ear, you probably don't need to see a doctor. If it seems like it's something else, or the peroxide doesn't help, then I'd see a doctor. If the ear is irritated, definitely see a doctor.

    Leo, I did just ask my mom when you'd need to see a doctor. She says she once even went to a resident to have her ear cleaned and he told her to just use peroxide. Really, you only need to see a doctor about an infection or other abnormality. Otherwise, it's a waste of time and money.




    My mom just read the first post. She says you might be congested and should use some decongestants.

    Yeah you should be careful, here I use ballpins to take the out.. ^_^
     
  9. Be very careful, because if you happen to hit something too hard in your ear or you use the wrong solution, you could begin to bleed or even lose hearing. When my ear was irritated I cleaned it with a Q-Tip, and I stuck it too far in opening whatever was infected causing my ear to bleed and I lost my hearing in that ear for a week. It's a serious thing.
