I have a blocked ear, due to ear wax. I don't have any pain. I have dewax ear drops, could you direct me on how to use them; like how many drops do I put in, for how long, etc. Thank you.

First you should visit an ent doctor to confirm the diagnosis, and to rule out any infections or any other problem in the ear canal or tympanic membrane. As putting ear drops can be harmful in some situations, also if the was is too much impacted wax solvent drops can lead to ear pain also. After you are sure there is no associated pathology and only wax inear you can put 3 drops 4 times a day for 3 days then visit an ent doctor to get it removed under endoscopic guidance.
