Care's 10ml bottle comes with a dropper for easy, accurate use. No fizzing, no stinging — just patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy oil first\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eImpacted wax is usually dry and hard; softening it is half the battle. Olive oil drops over several days can be all that's needed, and if syringing or microsuction is still required, well-softened wax makes it quicker and kinder. Many GP practices now insist on a week of oil before any wax removal appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm the bottle in your hands, tilt your head, and use the dropper to put two or three drops into the ear as directed on the pack, staying tilted for a few minutes. Repeat two or three times a day for up to a week, or as your pharmacist advises. The wax often works its way out on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever use with a perforated eardrum, ear pain, discharge, or after ear surgery — check with a pharmacist or GP if unsure. Cotton buds push wax deeper; leave them in the drawer. Hearing that doesn't improve after a week's drops deserves a GP or ear-care clinic visit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Care","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730170814851,"sku":"3467768","price":3.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/717n1DquU5L._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1788359887","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/care-ex-virgin-olive-oil-eardrops","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
