Care Olive Oil Eardrops – 10ml

What are Care Olive Oil Ear Drops?

Care Olive Oil Ear Drops help to unblock your ears when you are suffering from earwax buildup. They soften earwax, making it much easier to remove from the ears and helping it to leave the ear naturally. Ideal for those looking for a natural way to relieve blocked ears.

Why are my ears blocked?

There are many reasons why you may be dealing with earwax buildup in your ears. Some of the most common reasons for earwax blockage include:

• Your ears produce a lot of wax – some people make more wax than others.
• Your ear canals are hairy.
• Your ear canals are narrow.
• Your age – as you get older, earwax becomes harder and more difficult to remove naturally.
• You use hearing aids, earplugs, or other in ear products – they can push wax further into the ear.

How will these ear drops help to unblock my ears?

Care Olive Oil Ear Drops unblock your ears by softening the earwax that is blocking your ear canal. This helps the earwax to fall out naturally or prepares it to be syringed out of the ear more easily by a doctor or nurse.

Can I use these eardrops while I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

These eardrops contain nothing but extra virgin olive oil, so there should be no problem using them while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. However, you should speak to your doctor or Health Nest pharmacist before using any medication during pregnancy or while breastfeeding to be sure that the medication is safe for both you and your baby.

How to use Care Olive Oil Ear Drops

Tilt the head sideways with the ear you wish to treat facing upwards. Use the dropper provided to place 2 or 3 Care Olive Oil Ear Drops into the ear, being careful not to touch the ear with the dropper. Massage around the outside of the ear. Keep your head tilted for a few minutes to allow time for the drops to reach your eardrum. Plug the ear lightly with cotton wool to stop Care Olive Oil Ear Drops from leaking. Use your ear drops twice a day for up to 7 days.
