Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water daily to keep earwax soft and promote natural drainage.
- Include healthy fats and zinc in your diet – Eat omega-3-rich foods (like fish, flaxseeds) and zinc sources (like seeds and legumes) to support ear canal health.
- Avoid inserting cotton swabs or objects – They push wax deeper and can injure the ear canal or eardrum.
- Clean only the outer ear – Use a damp cloth to wipe the outer ear gently; never clean inside the canal.
- Use ear drops only as prescribed – Apply wax-softening drops correctly and avoid overuse; follow your doctor’s dosing schedule.
- Lie on your side after applying ear drops – This helps the medicine stay in place and work effectively.
- Keep ears dry – After bathing or swimming, tilt your head or gently dry the outer ear to prevent moisture buildup.
- Limit earbud and hearing aid use – Extended use can trap wax and block the natural movement of the ear canal outward.
- Avoid irritants and allergens – Smoke, dust, or allergens can inflame the ear canal and increase wax production.
- Have regular ear checkups if you are prone to wax buildup – Let a healthcare provider examine and clean your ears when needed, especially if you experience frequent wax buildup.
Special Advise
- Do not touch the tip of the dropper as it may contaminate the contents.
- Do not place the tip directly into the ear while instilling the drop. If the dropper touches the ear, immediately squeeze two to three drops onto the tissue and wipe the dropper’s tip with saltwater.
- Discard any unused medicine after the completion of the course of therapy or within 4 weeks after opening the bottle.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Impacted earwax: Earwax (also called cerumen) helps you to protect the ear from injury, infection, entry of water, or foreign materials. However, excessive wax can accumulate in the ear due to secretions from the ear glands and dead skin cells, resulting in impacted earwax. This condition can cause ear pain, itching, ringing in the ears, dizziness, or hearing loss. It occurs due to inflammation, injury, or infection of the ear, bone deformities in the ear, or skin diseases. It may also occur due to frequent use of earphones, cotton swabs or other objects in the ear that can push earwax deeper, causing a blockage in the ear.
