When it consolidates and obstructs the ear canal it causes earache, hearing loss, fullness, tinnitus and reflex cough. Cerumenolytics work by lowering the lipid cohesion of the wax and drawing in water:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Paradichlorobenzene 2%<\/strong> \u2014 fat-solvent ceruminolytic that softens and disperses lipid components of wax.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chlorbutol 5%<\/strong> \u2014 antiseptic and mild anaesthetic; emulsifies the keratin matrix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turpentine oil 15%<\/strong> \u2014 terpene solvent that loosens the wax plug.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Benzocaine 2.7%<\/strong> \u2014 local anaesthetic that dulls earache and the foreign-body sensation while the wax softens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The combination softens the wax over 3\u20134 days so that it either falls out spontaneously, is removed by warm-water irrigation, or is removed by microsuction at a clinic.<\/p>\n<h2>How to use<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Warm the bottle in your hand for a minute (cold drops in the ear can cause vertigo).<\/li>\n<li>Lie on your side with the affected ear uppermost, or tilt the head sharply.<\/li>\n<li>Pull the pinna gently up and back (adults) or down and back (children &lt; 3) to straighten the canal.<\/li>\n<li>Instil 3\u20135 drops; massage the tragus gently to work the drops in.<\/li>\n<li>Stay in position for 5\u201310 minutes, then place a small cotton plug at the canal entrance for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat 2\u20133 times daily for 3\u20134 days.<\/li>\n<li>If the wax has not cleared by day 5, see a clinician for syringing or microsuction.

Wax that has been impacted for weeks or months may need 3\u20134 days of drops followed by clinic syringing or microsuction. Do not extend self-treatment beyond a week without review.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it safe to use if I have a hole in my eardrum?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Cerumenolytic drops can enter the middle ear through a perforation, causing severe pain and possible ototoxicity. If you have ever had grommets, ear surgery, recurrent ear discharge or sudden ear pain, see a clinician before any self-treatment.<\/p>\n<h3>Can children use Soliwax?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes from age 1, with adult supervision and lower volume (2\u20133 drops). Under 1 year, see a paediatric ENT first \u2014 wax in infants is uncommon and may be misdiagnosed.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use cotton buds to clean my ears instead?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Cotton buds push wax deeper into the canal, compact it against the drum, and have caused tympanic membrane perforation and canal lacerations. The ear is self-cleaning; only treat wax that is causing symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3>What is &#8220;ear candling&#8221; and why should I avoid it?<\/h3>\n<p>Ear candling places a hollow cone of wax-coated fabric in the ear and lights it, claiming to draw out wax by suction. It does not work \u2014 the residue inside the candle is from the candle itself, not your ear. Burns to the canal and drum are documented (FDA warning 2010). Avoid.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I fly with Soliwax in?<\/h3>\n<p>Wait until the drops have been instilled and the cotton plug removed before air travel. Wax build-up itself can cause severe barotrauma during cabin pressure changes; treat before travel where possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Will Soliwax cause hearing loss?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Reduced hearing during the 3\u20134 day treatment is from the softening wax filling the canal more completely; hearing returns when the wax clears.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use it preventively if I make wax frequently?<\/h3>\n<p>A few drops once or twice a week of a softer cerumenolytic (olive oil, almond oil, or sodium bicarbonate ear drops) is preferred for routine prevention. Soliwax is for treatment, not maintenance, because turpentine oil is irritating with prolonged daily use.<\/p>\n<h3>I had grommets fitted as a child \u2014 can I still use this?<\/h3>\n<p>Only if your most recent ENT review confirmed the grommets have extruded and the drum has fully healed. If grommets are still in place, do not use cerumenolytic drops.<\/p>\n<h3>How is this different from olive oil ear drops?<\/h3>\n<p>Olive oil is the gentlest cerumenolytic \u2014 it softens slowly over 5\u20137 days, suits routine prevention and mild build-up, and is safe with mild perforation. Soliwax is faster and stronger but more irritating with prolonged use, and unsafe with perforation.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Ear Care &#038; General Health Products<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/el\/general-health\/\">All General Health Products<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/el\/otoflu-eye-ear-drops\/\">Otoflu Eye\/Ear Drops \u2014 antibacterial + antifungal (intact tympanic membrane only)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/el\/drep-ear-drop\/\">Drep Ear Drop \u2014 antibacterial ear drops<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/el\/auriko-ear-drops\/\">Auriko Ear Drops \u2014 alternative ear care<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/el\/levoflox\/\">Levoflox (levofloxacin) \u2014 for confirmed bacterial ear infection<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:24px 0 0 0;border-radius:4px;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;font-size:1.05em;\">\u0399\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u0391\u03c0\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 \u0395\u03c5\u03b8\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c2<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0;\">This information is provided for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice.
