Ear Irrigation
Ear Irrigation carries risks of perforating (making a hole in) the ear drum and infection, so this is not a treatment we undertake unnecessarily. In the majority of cases wax disappears using olive oil so before any appointment for irrigation is given we ask you to have applied olive oil twice a day for at least five days and then, if the symptoms still persist, to book an ear assessment appointment with the practice nurse and irrigation will only be carried out upon the recommendation of our practice nurse.
