You need to discuss it over a call because prevention is always better than cure.

With the help of a professional, you can open up your pre-existing ear piercings without any scarring or new holes in your ear. You may need to discuss it over a call for a better and effective medical advice.

Using cotton swabs, bobby pins, or other objects in your ear canal can also push wax deeper, creating a blockage. You're also more likely to have wax buildup if you frequently use earphones. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.

Drops nd antibiotics does not remove wax.
They just soften it.
Then it needs to be removed mechanically.
