[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bulb syringes that come in the kits are too small.

My recommendation would be to skip the drop and just get the biggest bulb syringe you can find. They don't use drops at medical offices-- they just flush the ears out.[/quote]

With water? Or hydrogen peroxide?[/quote]

Warm water! No, don't flush your ears with hydrogen peroxide or any other chemical. Plain, warm tap water.[/quote]

Hydrogen peroxide losens the wax. Hydrogen Peroxide isn't DEET, if you are calling Hydrogen Peroxide a chemical, then call water a chemical as well. [/quote]

Shooting hydrogen peroxide into your ear is a bad idea, and completely unnecessary. Sure, drops would be fine, but a doctor's office isn't going to bother. Why should you?[/quote]

"Shooting" is a biased way of phrasing an innocous activity. The poster should "bother" because the peroxide will help them get the wax out of their ear. [/quote]

Have you ever done this at a doctor's office? "Shooting" is absolutely descriptive phrasing. There's real pressure involved to push the wax out.

No need for hydrogen peroxide. Warm water works fine.[/quote]

Hosing, squirting, etc. would be sufficiently descriptive. If you think shooting is descriptive, you have never been to a gun range.[/quote]
