If you have an insert or any foreign object stuck in your ear, it’s important to seek medical attention from a professional. Trying to remove the object on your own can cause further damage to your ear and potentially worsen the situation.
However, if you are referring to earwax buildup or a small object that is not deeply lodged in the ear canal, you can try the following natural remedies:
- Warm oil: Warm up a few drops of olive oil or coconut oil and put them into your ear using a dropper. Tilt your head to the opposite side so that the oil can penetrate the ear canal and soften the earwax or the foreign object. After a few minutes, tilt your head back to let the oil and any loosened debris to drain out.
- Hydrogen peroxide: Mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water and put a few drops of the solution into your ear using a dropper. Tilt your head to the opposite side for a few minutes, then tilt it back to let the solution and any loosened debris to drain out.
- Saline solution: Mix a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water and put a few drops of the solution into your ear using a dropper. Tilt your head to the opposite side and hold it for a few minutes, then tilt it back to let the solution and any loosened debris to drain out.
It’s important to note that if any of these remedies cause pain, discomfort, or if you have any underlying ear conditions, you should stop using them immediately and seek medical attention.
