It used to be that is you had a heavy wax buildup in your ears, your doctor or a nurse or PA would clean it out for you.
But starting about ten years ago, that changed. Now they just tell you to buy an ear-cleaning kit with fluid from a pharmacy and do it yourself.
At least, that's how it is in the USA now. I wonder if it's like that in other parts of the world?

CW: Physical health (ear update; positive outcome)
Further to earlier posts here and here, we had an appointment with a high-grade nurse just over an hour ago.
She was absolutely lovely and confirmed that our right ear is inflammed with what looks like an inner and/or middle ear infection (likely otitis externa), but that it doesn't look like mastoiditis fortunately.
Not messing around at all, she prescribed us:
- 28 x flucloxacillin 500 mg capsules (1 capsule, 4 times daily)
- 5 mL ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone eardrops (4 drops, twice daily)
- 28 x naproxen 250 mg tablets (1 tablet up to 3 times daily for pain relief)
She even made sure that we understood that if the swelling and pain spreads to anywhere near the mastoid bone, we should immediately go to A&E.

CW: Physical health (sadly negative; more stuff about ears and earwax)
After having cleared both ears of the mahusive amount of built-up earwax within them and regained hearing, our right ear has decided to be a right git :Sighing_Face:
It seems to have perceived the earwax being cleared as some kind of attack, so initiated inflammation protocols 🤦♀️ It is currently red, swollen, and sensitive, and producing a liquidy, waxy discharge, as if to try to build the blockage back up 😞
This has irritatingly mostly blocked the ear back up.
More annoyingly, however, the ear and associated area have become painful, so we're having to stay doped up on a strong cocktail of meds (paracetamol, naproxen, and codeine) to dull the pain, in addition to a decongestant (phenylephrine hydrochloride) and diazepam, to try to restore basic ability to function 🙃
Plus we're intermittently using a bit of soft tissue to mop up the liquidy discharge.
Really not a fan of our body right now, but very glad that we have strong painkillers and other meds of various classes.

“It’s Like A Comedy Material”: How #Whale #Earwax Is Spilling #Ocean’s Secrets
In 19th century, researchers began collecting wax plugs found in ear canals of deceased #whales. These deposits – which can reach up to .5m (1.6 feet) – form continually over the animal’s lifespan, and so can reveal its personal history, spilling secrets including its age, the environmental pollutants it has been exposed to, and the hormonal responses it has experienced throughout its life.

What Your Earwax Says About Your Ancestry

If you are wondering why I haven’t paid for ear wax removal since the lockdowns, it’s because I discovered you can get referred by your GP if you are in #Norfolk or #Norwich to this place...don’t be fobbed off or made to go private:
-
As a hard of hearing person #Covid hit my communication skills and my wallet. In 3 years we’ve drifted into a situation where ear wax is no longer routinely removed at GP surgeries. I paid £50 an ear to get them microsuctioned in 2020 and 2021 lockdowns because I could no longer hear my own children and I was desperate. It sounds trivial, but without #NHS #EarWax removing services hard of hearing people are silenced.
