someone please give me a brand that actually melts your ear and doesn't just make it wet

Debrox, you use it to soften the wax over a couple days and then use a bulb to flush it out.

Had a doctor recommend that i put the drops in morning and night for ~3 days before coming in for an appt where they flushed my ear

I just use hydrogen peroxide. I first use a paperclip with the one leg bent straight so it forms a hook, scoop out what I can, and then use hydrogen peroxide to dissolve the rest. Works like a charm!

A paper clip in your ear sounds like a great way to puncture an eardrum.

I don’t put the pointy end in…

Hydrogen peroxide works great. I have small ear canals so my ears collect a lot of wax and don't drain. I just use hydrogen peroxide and then I bought what they would use at doctor offices on me on Amazon which is a sprayer thing that has some sort of cup thing you put under your ear to collect the wax. Works wonders

Go to a drug store and get some hydrogen peroxide. Mix it with water 50/50. If your ears are really bad, adjust mixture with less water.
