Should Olive Oil Be Used In A Blocked Ear With Constant Ringing Sensation?
Good morning, I have been using olive oil in my ear for a week as I thought it was blocked. I still have limited hearing but also a constant ringing and a sound of water. I am still unable to hear properly. Would you advise me to continue with the oil or see the practice nurse. Thankyou.

Hello,
Thanks for asking at Healthcaremagic.
Do not install olive oil or any other home made solution in your ear canal. It can cause severe infection and unwanted complications.
Consult an ENT physician in case of blocked ear
Thank you
