My child has hard ear wax and using Waxoff ear drops did not work. What alternative ear drops or pharmaceutical products can I use to safely dissolve and remove the wax?
It is common for earwax to be stubborn. For children, gentle generic alternatives like olive oil ear drops or sodium bicarbonate ear drops can help soften hard wax. Apply 2 to 3 drops into the affected ear twice daily for about 5 to 7 days. Please avoid using cotton swabs, as they can push the wax further in. If the wax remains blocked or if your child complains of pain or hearing discomfort, it is best to see a paediatrician. They can easily and safely flush or clear the ear in the clinic. This is a very routine issue and easily resolved.
