You will have to know for sure that you have wax in the ears before putting soliwax ear drops.
If you cannot hear properly then besides ear wax you could be having an eustachin tube blockage.
Get an audiogram plus an impedance audiometry to confirm the problem.

Asked for female, 31 years old from Mumbai

20 days before, my ear was blocked so I went to family doctor. He has given 2types of tablet and soliwax drop. I have used those and again went to doctor due to ear blocking problem was not solved. Doctor we need to see ent specialist as need to remove wax. So took appointment of ent specialist, he has removed wax and suggest to use soliwax drop daily 2 times. At that time I felt better than before. But immediate next day again I felt my ear got blocked, called the ent specialist, got response that need to be patient, it will take 2 days to get better condition. In those 2-3 days I have used ear buds to remove wax cz I felt there is something in my middle ear, due to this there was inflammation in my middle ear. I have called doctor, he suggested me different prescription which i'm using last 3 days: 1/2 tablet cifran ct and 1 tablet of zerodol after lunch and dinner, twice in a day. And otoflu ear drops twice in a day. Also he suggested a pain killer named flexon. Yesterday it was hilarious pain in my ear, which I was unable to bear, even I can not move my mouth, unable to eat and talk. One of my family member called my doctor and explained my condition. doctor suggested to share picture of my ear, which I have sent, and he prescribed sefdin 300 which need to added in my earlier prescription. So I have started to take all 3 tablets after lunch and dinner, also he suggested use otoflu drops 2 times a day. And if pain is unbearable then flexon can be used. From the day before yesterday till the moment, I am taking flexon by morning 11 30 when pain get started then again i'm taking flexon by 9 30 pm, so I have used 8 flexon tablet, which I took permission of doctor. But still i'm not getting relief from this ear pain. Doctor is very helpful but suggested medicines are not useful as i'm still facing this unbearable pain in my ear. Please suggest on this condition, what needs to be done in my case.

Partial removal or ext otitis or otomycosis (can happen after removal with water syringing. Visit the doctor again. If ext otitis or otomycosis take appropriate medication. In the mean time do hot fomentation.

Asked for male, 18 years old from Mumbai

I had a hole in my ear canal so used ciplox-d drops in my ears but unfortunately it formed a hard white layer on my eardrum and blocked it. Now even earwax has made up a pile on it. I'm not able to hear properly now. What should I do. However a doctor replied me and recommended soliwax ear drops for me. But I want to ask whether these ear drops can remove the hard white layer formed due to ciplox-d?

Dr. Vilas Misra91%(782 ratings)

ENT Specialist•Lucknow

Dear lybrate-user, first of all the hard white layer is due to chronic inflammation/infection. And not because of the ear drop, which is given prior to surgery of ear which is the standard treatment in such cases.
