Ear Wax: Restoring Your Hearing

The production of ear wax is your body's natural defense. It cleans your ears, reduces bacteria growth, and keeps dirt from getting into your ear canal. 

Once formed, ear wax moves through the ear canal on its own, with your help as you speak and digest your food. As ear wax gets in contact with the ear's surface, they fall off. Sometimes, ear wax could accumulate or get stuck.

Ear Wax Removal

When the ear generates ear wax more quickly than the body can clear, a backlog develops. This may arise from any of the following:

●     Tiny ear canal

●     Swimmer's ear

●     Eczema

●     Autoimmune illnesses

Putting objects in your ear can induce ear wax development, therefore advise children not to place anything inside their ears.

Can Ear Wax Removal Cause Bleeding?

Ear wax removal is a reasonably simple and quick operation that a pharmacist can do. It is unusual for a treatment to generate an adverse reaction that is so uncomfortable that it strongly influences the patient's overall quality of life.

Some people may feel dizzy or disoriented after ear wax removal, but this should pass soon. Since the ear removal gear is soft and doesn't reach deep into the ear, there shouldn’t be any bleeding.

However, if you do have bleeding, it's usually because of an underlying medical condition. In this case, see your GP as soon as possible. Keep in mind, however, that some general medical practices do not remove ear wax.

Some professionals can remove ear wax both by suction tubing it out and washing the inner ear with water (micro suction). These treatments rarely cause any irritation at all. There is a fee to pay to have them done in private.

A Pharmacist Can Help You Clean Out Your Ears

If you have a buildup of ear wax, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

●     Tinnitus

●     Hearing loss

●     Earache

●     Itchy ears

●     A feeling of fullness in the ear

●     Dizziness/disorientation after lying down

These symptoms can be greatly addressed by having your ear wax removed. In some cases, people suffer from sudden hearing loss because of a buildup of ear wax.

If you experience any of these symptoms, book an appointment with Touchwood Pharmacy today. We would be more than happy to help you restore your hearing. Our branches are located in Hanwell, Northampton, Walsall, Ramsgate, and Camberley.

Are you searching for a lasting solution to your facial wrinkles? then you're on the right article. Research has it that there are processes that facilitate wrinkle formation, thereby contributing to making us have a much older appearance and they include:  our everyday facial expression and loss of skin elasticity. Loss of skin elasticity happens alongside the loss of volume and it gives the long-term effect of sagging; it gives the feel of loose muscles, making them lack the firmness they normally should have.  Also, our everyday facial expressions refer to how we use our facial muscles. There are typical facial wrinkles with negative connotations and they are frown lines or furrows between the eyes which makes us look like we are intensely worried or negative. Dealing with wrinkles should not be so much of a problem because there are now medically acceptable ways to deal with it, they are called anti-wrinkle treatment. Anti-wrinkle treatments are available in differen

Japanese Encephalitis is inflammation in the brain caused by a virus called Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). South Asia is the common grounds to get this disease. The virus is spread from the bite of the infected mosquito. The virus enters the mosquitoes from pigs and birds. Fortunately is not contagious from human to human. Agricultural fields and rural areas are common places where this disease is seen. 90% of the patients are asymptomatic in the first phase. Flu and diarrhoea are seen in the first two days. Headaches, vomiting, raised tones, intracranial pressures increase and seizures are seen in phase 2.  Clinical findings are used to diagnose Japanese Encephalitis.  Lymphocytosis is seen in the blood.
