Hi,

Thank you for your query.

By using Soliwax the wax in the ear has started swelling which has blocked the ear further. You need to continue to put Soliwax 2-3 times a day for a week or even longer for it to gradually dissolve the wax. Please do not worry about the "odd feeling". It shall settle down in the next 2-3 days once wax starts dissolving.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you an early recovery.

Regards,

Hi,
It seems that you might be having impacted ear wax.
Continue using Saliwax ear drops 2-3 times a day.
Within 3-4 days wax will be loose and then removed with cotton buds.
If wax is heavy, consult your doctor and get removed with ear forceps.
Ok and take care.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM
As you have earwax problem soliwax ear drop is the preferred treatment for this condition i.e. 5 drops 5 times a day for 5 days and alternative method for ear wax removal is manually or by syringing. Please consult the ENT specialist for ear syringing.

Thanks
