I am a certified medical assistant and am trained in how to do an ear lavage. My ear is plugged and I tried to get the wax out with just a syringe, not a typical elephant syringe. My ear is still plugged and I cannot hear out of it. Any over the counter medications/drops recommended? I use to be prone to painful swimmers ear; however, I don t have pain just ear congestion and I was going to try to continue to flush it out with water but don t know if this could potentially make matters worse. Please advise. Thank you.
