Ear Care
Your ears normally look after themselves. Never put cotton buds or anything else inside your ear. You could hurt yourself.
The ears make wax naturally. Sometimes it builds up and goes hard. When this happens you may become a bit deaf, or have earache.
You can use Waxsol on its own or before the doctor or nurse washes out your ear. Never put anything in your ear to try and clear the wax yourself.
