Woken up deaf in my ear

I have an ear wax problem. Already saw the doctor a few weeks ago regarding it. They no longer do ear wax removal on the NHS.

Just made an appointment this morning for next week to have it removed. In the meantime I need to use drops.

It is throwing me off being deaf in my right ear. Oh well.

My GP surgery has the suction equipment

I had to keep getting treated with the water jet but the suction tool did a great job

My GP is a medical centre so think they do more than a normal gp would

The water has to be sterile first right? Boil it. Cool down. Then fill and spray.

I’ve heard of flesh eating amoeba from nasal spraying tap/faucet water.

I’ve just used sink water haven’t had any problems. I think the water is pretty safe here in Kansas I suppose you could use bottled water too

Yes I would never use tap water. It’s super rare but don’t want to find out. The amoeba goes through your nasal cavities into your brain and it’s like 100% fatal.

5am and I’ve been up most the night with ear pain. I’m exhausted. And I can’t get in to have the wax removed until Tuesday so God knows how I willl get on until then.
