Ear Wax Blockage

2026-08-14 12:56:21
Hi! I had earwax buildup and pressure feeling from past 5 days and got it removed yesterday by an ENT doc. He said that the entire wax is not out and suggested Waxonil spray. Now when I used waxonil my ear is blocked again similar as what it was before. I an prescribed waxonil for 10 days but the blockage feeling again is uncomfortable. Do I need to wait for the full course of the medication to get over or get the wax removed again ?

It is due to softening of residual wax and covering ear drum. You need to get it removed once more

It is due the result of wax dissolvent; ear wax loosens up and ur ear may feel more blocked u can use the spray for 5 days and visit the doctor for cleaning and in between if you feel more uncomfortable u can visit them soon also

Yes If the ear is still partially blocked by wax, you need to put wax softener ear drops for few more days. Once it turns soft it can be removed by syringing.
Next Steps
3 drops 5-6 times a day x 1 week
