Suggest Treatment For Blocked Ear And Dry Flaky Skin After Using Debrox

I have had constant build up of ear wax, so I used debrox a couple of weeks ago. It is still hard to hear out of the one ear, and today I went to clean a little bit out with a q tip, because I noticed dried flakes. At first it was white goopy stuff. Then I noticed the q tip is red. So I think my ear is bleeding. What should I do

Hi welcome to HCM,
Excessive earwax buildup is a common problem that can lead to ear discomfort, itchy ears or partial loss of hearing. Debrox is safe, clinically proven to be effective for the removal of earwax..the flakes are dissolved wax and nothing to be worried..and regarding the blood (tip is red) you could have injured while cleaning..nothing to worry ..dont try cleaning yourself again...i recommend you to consult ENT doctor and get it cleaned...thank you...
