Olive oil

Hi. Basically this morning I went to the doctor thinking I had an ear infection. He gave me a course of anti-biotics  and some ear drops which are just olive oil. I put the drops in at about 10AM this morning and I couldn't hear anything. It's now 6.20pm and I still can't hear.

I've slept in my side, used a tea towel soaked in hot water and q-tips but nothing works! This is really doing my head in. Does anybody know how to get olive oil out? Much appreciated!

Rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip.  Be very gentle and don't go too deep.  The best Q-tips are safety ones that are extra fat.  They are hard to find.
