Suggest Remedies For Wax Discharge After A Ear Infection
I have had 2 back-to-back ear infections, and now have very thin sticky/stringy ear wax. I am on a second round of amoxicillin, however my hearing is still fuzzy. I went to my regular doctor who tells me my eardrum looks perfect and does not see wax build up. What do I do?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be formation of crusts due to inflammatory exudates and secretion giving appearance of having wax.
Clear these crusts with cotton buds gently.
Put antibiotic ear drops for few days.
Ok and take care.
