How to get rid of ear wax.

My right ear for some reason has been clogged up for like a month now. I've tried eardrops, and they do work but the ear wax just comes back the next morning. So I was wondering if there was any better way to get rid of it?

Note: I refuse to use Q-tips, those things just push the wax down even further.

I would go to the doctor. A lot of in-home treatments can make it worse and actually cause you to lose hearing. Please ask the doctor.

Warm up some olive oil for a little bit and pour some of it into your ear. Let it sit inside your ear for a while and then turn your head to pour it out. And Q-tips will just make your ear(s) produce more wax as it pushes against sensitive areas and causes your ear to produce more as a defense.
