Urgent Care for Ear Wax Removal Q&A

Earwax protects the ear canal from bacteria, dust, and particles. However, excessive wax formation can cause blockages. Earwax blockages and buildup can cause pain, dizziness, and hearing problems. Using a cotton swab to clear up the wax might cause blockages by pushing the wax deeper into the ear. If you are concerned about the cause of your symptoms, consult with the doctors at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care before trying to remove earwax by yourself.
