New Branch Dudley available areas.

We are now doing home visits in the following areas Dudley, Kidderminster, Stourbridge, Hagley, Quinton, Bewdley, and Stourport.

We also see patients in care and nursing homes. Microsuction ear wax removal is considered the NHS gold standard of removing ear wax and debris and is supported by NICE guidance. 

Same-day appointments are available at New Branch Dudley

It’s important to seek professional advice and never insert anything in your ear by yourself in an attempt to extract wax. You may push the wax deeper into the ear and possibly damage the ear drum, which can result in hearing loss. Only a qualified clinician/doctor should extract ear wax.Enhance Patient Care: Microsuction Courses for Nurses | spcareclinic

The most common symptoms of an outer ear infection include:

• Pain in your ear – this can be severe and may get worse when you push or pull your ear
• Itching
• Discharge from your ear
• Reduced hearing – if the swelling is enough to block your ear canal
• A full feeling in your ears
• A red or swollen ear canal
• Dry skin or eczema in or around your ear canal

If your symptoms are particularly severe or they don’t get better after treatment or they come back, a ear swab is useful, this will be sent to a laboratory for testing to find out whether the cause of your ear infection is bacterial or a fungus.https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/caregiving/types-of-home-health-care-services
