My 10 year old son complains that his ear is blocked. Is there a way to clear it up ourselves?

Question

It tends to make a lot of wax. Thank you! Should I take water that has been boiled?

Good evening ma'am, Yes, with olive oil! You apply 3 drops of olive oil in the ear twice a day for 3 days, then 40 minutes after the second application of the third day, you take a syringe (10mL) without a needle that you will have filled with lukewarm water, and you "push" the water into the ear with the plunger (in less than 2 seconds). Usually, it does "the job". :) No, this is not necessary, as the water remains outside the body (the eardrum at the bottom of the ear canal will prevent water from entering further).
