A family member is under treatment for schizoaffective disorder since 10 yrs. Lithium carbazepine risperidone clonazepam apripazole n ativan lorazepam for wen trouble sleeping. She has developed slowness of movement almost walks like penguin n feels rigidness tightness in hips n thigh thus trouble sitting n walking. Her psychiatrist told to do tests serum lithium n carbamazepine were under normal levels Vit b12 normal Only calcium slight lower than normal n vit d3 low Ortho consultation raised query abt extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotic medication but psychiatrist refuted it. Ortho den gave gabapentin n mecobalamin n ca+vit d improved her walking n stiffness to an extent. I wanted to ask what is the reason for her walking problem n why did she get relief from gabapentin. We were asked to follow up after 15 days. If still stiffness n walking prob to refer neuro physician coz ortho cause was ruled out. I would like to know whats going on with her cause our docs didnt clearly explain d situation? N I cant afford to change docs.

Put some waxolytic solvents in the ears this will dissolve the wax if you put this nearly 10-12 time per day, if wax comes out by itself than fine otherwise get it clean from ear consultant and remember you should not try it by yourself.

Don't try to remove a build-up of earwax yourself with your fingers, a cotton bud or any other object.
Ear drops to be used for few days to soften the earwax so that it falls out by itself.
If still no relief then ear irrigation to be done by ENT doctor.
Hope this answer helps u

Hi lybrate-user, please take a painkiller/anti inflammatory tablet. Otogesic is usually given as a wax solvent. If the pain doesnt reduce, consult an ENT Doctor locally.

Don't worry if you need to remove your nail paint and the nail polish remover is not available. Use perfumes, hair spray, body spray, and spray deodorant to remove the nail polish easily as they contain certain solvents which help in the process.

Hard wax should be dissolved with wax solvent, dewax ear drops 5 drops/5 times/5 days. Visit an ent surgeon, it can be removed by syrengeing. Please do not attempt crude methods to remove wax, it may damage ear drum.
