Earwax Problems

[Ameeratul Layl]

I hope you are well.inshAllah.

I went to the doctors as I had very bad ear-aches. So, he prescribed ear drops. No difference. Then, I bought a spray for the ear to smoothen the earwax. It worked - a little.
Eventually, I had to go to the nurse and get the wax taken out.

The problem

I have been told not to use cotton sticks by my nurse.
I am not keen in spraying liquids into my ear.

And, my ear is becoming rather itchy again.

Is there anything other than sprays and cotton sticks that I could use?

as dumb as this sounds, some one once told me (it was either a doctor or a teacher, i really cant remember) to use a bobby hair clip... you know the ones that you put in your hair and they are usually black? or some kind of instument like that becuase its small and doesnt have the cotton tip thing etc

er dont know how good that is though lol

I did use the pin the first time I had problems. But, I am scared to use it incase I burst the ear drum.

JazakAllah ukhti.

ok now thats a scary thought... but i dont think we should be putting ANYTHING so deep into the ear that it woukd go near the ear drum, should we??

this is not good. I have someone coming from Germany today and look at me. I have earwax problems.
How about Ear candling?

Ear candling," also known as auricular candling or coning, refers to various procedures that involve placing a cone-shaped device in the ear canal and supposedly extracting earwax and other impurities with the help of smoke or a burning wick. The origins of candling are obscure. Ancient Tibet, China, Egypt, the pre-Columbian Americas, and even the mythical city of Atlantis are cited as possible contributors. The procedures supposedly create a low-level vacuum that draws wax and other debris out of the ear canal. Some proponents even claim that impurities are removed from the inner ear, the facial sinuses, or even the brain itself, all of which are somehow connected to the canal.

Should I try it?

sounds freaky, i think you should ask a doctor inshaallah. is the doctor coming from gernamy just for you? :?

 

[Muslim-Gyal]

i thought it was dangerous to put things in ur ear like cotton sticks and hair pins :S

 

[sevgi]

i was told to use a peice of stick or wateva wrapped in a cloth or towel...that way, peices of the cotton bud dont get left behind in your ear and the stick or wateva is too thick to go too deep so as to harm the ear drum,,,...

SubhanAllah, no ukhti. But as this person is Italian, they may know of some remedies. Then again, maybe not.

Okay brothers and sisters, I only have 3 hours to get rid of this earwax. Anymore help, Bitte?

 

[Mujahidah4Allah]

oh i went deaf for about 3 weeks and the docs said to put olive oil it really wors try it if you want to know more like how to then ask

ma'salamah

 

[Mawaddah]

^ Yes that's true sis. My sister had the same problem Ameeratul Layl and my mom just heated up some olive oil/coconut oil with some pounded pieces of Garlic in it.

Let it heat and boil for a little so that the juices from the garlic comes out into the oil. Then take a cotton bud and dip it into the warm oil and gently place it into the ear. Let it rest for a bit and then clean it out. It cures really fast too!!

Allah Ma3ik

 

[Mujahidah4Allah]

oh i never boiled it or nothing [well thats if you're in a sistuation where you dont have a cooker at your boarding school haha], yeah docs told me i just put oil in my ear, they never told me how, so i ermm soaked the oil in a cotton biud, lied down, put it in my ear, be like that for a good 5-10 mins and hey presto, you got your ears working in no time, except my room mates were being mean, because i was deaf they used start calling me things and i couldnt hear, and they were laughing [was so sad ]

ma'salamah

Oh habibati, don't take any notice of immature people. They are not worth the shedding of a tear.
So, sis hyper gal and mawaddah, I should use olive oil? I do not have the fresh oil, my one is actually stored in a big tin gallon for cooking. Is that okay?
I shall try the remedies when no one is at home.inshAllah.

JazakAllah so much.

 

[Mujahidah4Allah]

i dont think it matters if its pure or not... try that filipo olive oil, ermm oil for cooking i suppose if its olive oil try it and let us know if you can hear again...

[Mujahidah4Allah]

[chacha_jalebi]

I know. The whole in the pen lid allows the wax to take up the round shape. Its only logic but I really do not think this is a good way to get rid of earwax.

 

[chacha_jalebi]

oh lol .... but it does work sister, also theres like so so much ear drops thins that apparently brake up the wax, u must hav seen the posters they everywer

and i meant mash up ur ears lol,
