Earache Due To Wax Accumulation, Planning To Get It Removed By The Doctor. What Will Be The Procedure?
I went to a minute clinic because I have been having a earache lately. she told me that there was too much wax in there to tell if it was swimmers ear or a ear infection . so, tomorrow I am going to the doctor to get it removed. I m worried it will be painful. can you tell me if it will hurt? and what the procedure will be like?
