To safely remove earwax, you can use over-the-counter softening ear drops containing active ingredients like paradichlorobenzene and chlorobutanol. Tilt your head to the side, apply a few drops into the ear canal, and remain still for 5 minutes to let the solution work. Gently wipe away any softened wax that drains out. Never insert cotton swabs or sharp objects into your ear, as this can push wax deeper or damage your eardrum. If your ears still feel blocked after a few days or if you experience pain, please visit a healthcare professional for a safe, manual clearance.
