Homemade Drops for Ear Wax Removal

My son gets a lot of wax build up in his ear, so I use these home made drops which work great. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoonful of baking soda in 2 ounces of warm water. Put into a dropper bottle and shake well before using. Use 2 drops in the ear twice a day. Use for a week and discard. It does great at dissolving excess ear wax.

Thanks for your reply! I just got the ears vaccumed out by the Dr. and he said to just use baby oil in your ears every night to keep it soft.
