Ear itching
I have been suffering from uncontrollable itching in ears for almost a year. It's not a constant condition however I almost always feel it once in a couple of days. I am not sure if it is wax. What will be a safe way to remove wax?

For the time being, take levoceririzine tablet, one at night before sleeping . U can take it for 2 weeks, no problem. Should help reduce the itching.
Next Steps
Keep ears dry, do not let water enter the ear. Place cotton dipped in vaseline in both ear while taking bath.
