8. Natural Oils
Baby, mineral or olive oil can be dripped into the ear to help soften and clear excess earwax. Place the chosen oil into an eyedropper, making sure it's lukewarm. Tilt the head to one side and place two or three drops of oil into the exposed ear.
Keep the head tilted for 15 seconds before gently wiping the outer ear. Repeat the process two or three times a day for up to five days until the ear returns to normal.
