Health & Wellness Best Posts in Thread: Earwax removal

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations, i went to Dr Simon Flores and good job done for 800p

 

Dr Simon Flores, Siliman Hospital. Superb, been to see him twice for earwax removal, also took our boy to him for the same reason. Far, far better than any earwax removal I had in the UK. He doesn't syringe he uses a vacuum technique, zero mess and 100% pain free.

 

I had had problems with Ear wax for many years (used to get them syringed every 9 months or so) until three years ago, I had prior knowledge never to use Q tips I cleaned my ears with tightly screwed up tissue, until the time the Nurse was syringing my ears and said a piece of tissue come out with the wax, she gave me a stern talking to and said the only thing to put in your ears is your elbow and nothing else. I have been trouble free for 4 years now as the last time I was at the Docs they told me we no longer syringe ears and to oil them for two weeks and that will clear it, so I did that and now I do nothing at all to them apart from squirting the shower into my ear each time I wash, it is OK to scrape the very outer canal with a clean fingernail but cleaning as I used to do was only pushing the wax back into the canal, Vegetable oil of any type will soften wax be it Palm oil, Corn oil anything at all that you can fry an egg in, but always warm it like has already been suggested.

 

There's an ENT doctor in SUMC I can't remember his names but he's very good been to him twice. I went early and got my ticket then went for my breakfast in town then back again so I didn't have to wait long. Highly recommend him. Cost about P500 two years ago.
