My friend noticed that I actually have a huge build-up of earwax in my ear. How can I remove it?

To remove a large earwax blockage, you can try using mineral oil or baby oil to soften and loosen the wax. Apply 3-4 drops in the ear canal once or twice a day for 3-7 days. There are also over-the-counter products like CERUMOL or CERUMENEX that can help, but they may be harsh on the ear canal. If you frequently have earwax buildup, you may consider getting your ear cleaned by a nurse at a clinic or pharmacy for a fee.
