answer:Your best bet is to run to the store and buy ear drops that are designed to loosen/dissolve wax. There’s one called Debrox that most stores carry. That, in combination with a wet, hot towel against your ear – or a heating pad – for as long as you can stand (think hours) would be your best bet. However, if your ear hurts at all, don’t use the drops since that could be a sign of an ear infection.
