Is Stool Softener Advisable For Cleaning Wax In Ear?

Hi. I just got back from the Doctors office. Had wax in one ear. The nurse put a pink liquid in my ear and after leaving it in for 15 minutes flushed the wax out with water. Worked great. I asked what the pink liquid was and she said it was a stool softener. Was she pulling my leg? Can think of a lot of jokes on this one.
