Ear wax problem
Heavy EAR WAX gets accumulated in my ears and I have to get it cleaned by ENT from time to time, atleast twice in a year through suction. Is it safe process to use so frequently ? Also there are not much facilities available at my place so I have to go to near by city which is Kolkata. I want to know if there is any good ear drops which I can use so that wax does not gets accumulated and if wax gets accumulated is there any ear drops which helps in wax easily gets softened and comes out easily.

Wax or Cerumen is a normally produced by glands in our ear canal for protection. Sometimes it can get impacted especially during fever and other sicknesses. Regular ear canal manipulation can also do this. Drops available in market are just wax softeners and they do not dissolve wax. So you need to avoid cleaning your ear yourself regularly

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
