How to Remove Ear Wax Safely

Many people use a q-tip to remove the wax from their ears. Removing ear wax using a q-tip is not safe. You can potentially puncture your ear drum, remove too much ear wax and leave your ear open to infection, or push the ear wax even deeper into your ear. There is another much safer method to remove ear wax, this article will outline how to remove the wax from your ears safely.

Instructions

1. The first step to remove earwax safely is to soften the ear wax with baby oil. Get an eye dropper and fill it with baby oil, then put the eye dropper in your ear(as you tilt your head to the side so the baby oil will drain all the way down into your ear drum) and empty the baby oil into your ear. You will do this every morning and every night for 6 days to completely loosen the ear wax.

2. 

   The second step to remove earwax safely is to use a rubber syringe and fill it with luke warm water. Next you are going to shoot the water into your ear and let the water drain out of your ear. If the ear wax does not come out with the water on the first try, then repeat the process until you can see the ear wax coming out of your ear with the water.

3. The third step to remove earwax safely is to fill an eye dropper with rubbing alcohol and shoot the rubbing alcohol into your ear. Once you have done this you will tilt your head down to allow the rubbing alcohol to completely drain from your ear. The rubbing alcohol will remove any bacteria and clean out the ear drum completely.
