What’snormal What’snot!

Earwax

Earwax is normal and we all have it. It actually helps keep our ears clean and healthy, but some people naturally produce more than others.

It’s important not to poke inside the ear with a cotton bud – this pushes wax further in and can lead to blockages. Natural remedies for wax build-up include eardrops and olive oil, and it should eventually disappear.

However, if you find yourself with earache or mild loss of hearing, see your GP.
