The main danger is that some of the drugs that were in the syringe may get into your ear, and your ear may become hooked.
.....and start stealing to pay for it's habit.

I had to take my son to the dr for a sinus infection and they couldn't see his eardrum due to wax buildup and they used warm water and peroxide. She didn't measure it, she just made up a pan of it. More water than peroxide. Then she filled the syringe with it and pushed the water into his ear several times until the stuff loosened up and came out. They sent the syringe home with me and told me to do it once a month. I would also think about getting a Dr. or ARNP consult. It is probably best if you get someone to help you. You will need to hold a pan or bowl under your ear to catch the water and stuff. It will make your ears feel so much better. I used to have to have it done as a child, they said my ear canal was too small for it to get out. It should also make your hearing better. Good luck!!!!

Put a hair dryer on it- the heated air will help a lot. Don't do that syringe thing, you could miss and break an ear drum.

my grandad used to syringe his own ears with warm olive oil, didn't do him and harm, but are you sure your earache is due to this? could be an infection?

you should put warm olive oil in your ear to melt the wax.
