Excessive wax in ear
Hi, I usually get excessive wax in my ear due to which I get itching inside the ear. I use Johnson's bud to clean and use ear drop but it's a ongoing situation. Is there any way or any method to keep my ear clean. This is very annoying especially in the night as sometimes I can't sleep due to excessive itching inside the ear. Please advise.

Need to see a ENT specialist in ur area .
Don't use ear buds since they can push the wax further inside the ear . Also ear buds can cause trauma and infection in the ear . Tc

First of all never use ear buds. They push wax inside and cause more problems. Also no ear drops should be used without prescription. Get ur ear cleaned by ent specialist and then follow as prescribed.
