I put some ear drops in my ear this morning and then put cotton in my ear to keep it from running out. Then after about 2 hours I tryed flushing it out with water. I'm not sure that it did anything as I haven't put it to any test.
But I doubt that it would be that easy.

The ear drops expired July, 2009 but I kept it in the refrigerator.

A friend of mine got her ear wax removed by her doctor but it cost $150.00
My HMO doctor would probably do it at no cost to me but I'd rather do it myself if I can.
Get some new drops...they are not expensive. When you put cotton in your ears, the cotton will absorb the drops. Better to put the drops in and then gently rub the outside of your ear. Just do one ear at a time and lay on your side with that ear up for a few minutes and you wont have to worry about the drops running out.
