dark orangish earwax?

Question

Answer 1

Sounds like an ear infection when you have sores inside your ear.
Check with your doctor. As for the color of ear wax, it does not matter.

Answer 2

The dark orangish earwax wouldn't be, by itself, too much to worry about -- I've seen that with my children plenty of times. However, it has always meant that ears needed to be flushed out, because of wax build-up. As for the sores, sounds like you need an antiobiotic;
everyone who has written thus far is right -- please see a doctor!

Answer 3

If you have sores in your ears, you need to go to the doctor and get them looked at. You may need some antibiotic ear drops, and the earwax discoloration may be a sign of infection.

Answer 4

try putting HydrogenPeroxide into your ear...DO NOT DO THIS IF YOUR SQUEEMISH...what it does is it cleans out any earwax buildup that maybe in your ear...tilt your head sideways and pour in a capfull of HydroPerox....leave it in for about 2 or 3 minutes...take a warm shower to rinse your ear out...

If the problem continues...go to a doctor and they'll check on you...if you need an ear cleansing...then take something to hold on to because it feels weird and uncomfortable...but it will get the job done...good luck.

Answer 5

The best thing to do, is go see a nose and throat Doctor. Your ears should never be taken for granite.
