The best choice depends on what is causing the itch. Ichthammol glycerin is excellent if the itch is due to mild inflammation, dryness, or a minor infection, as it helps soothe and reduce swelling. On the other hand, Clearwax ear drops are designed specifically to soften and clear stubborn earwax buildup, which can also cause itching. If you feel a blockage, Clearwax is ideal; otherwise, ichthammol glycerin is a gentler choice for general irritation. Please avoid inserting cotton buds, and consult a doctor if the itching persists.

Please have a healthcare professional look inside your ear first to ensure it is safe and appropriate to use Clearwax.

Please consult an ENT specialist for correct treatment, as persistent infection needs examination.
