Earwax, also known as cerumen, is a yellow sticky secretion from the external auditory canal. Generally, a little earwax can also protect the ears, but it is recommended to clean the baby's earwax regularly and not to accumulate too much earwax in the ears. Because if the earwax accumulates, you may get water in your ears when you take a shower or wash your hair, which will force the earwax inside to get wet and then dry. If this happens repeatedly, the earwax will become very hard after a long time, and it is impossible to handle it by yourself.

Methods/steps

see a doctor

Once you find that the earwax in your baby's ear has hardened, you should first consult a doctor. At this time, the doctor will prescribe you a special liquid medicine (sodium bicarbonate) to soften the earwax and let you drop it for 3-4 days. When the wax inside softens, they have a special tool to absorb it.

2. Give the baby drops of medicine on time.

After the doctor prescribes the liquid medicine, he will tell you how many times to drop it a day according to the baby's own situation. My family drops 4-5 times a day. I blame my negligence. I haven't dug ear wax since the baby was born to 4 years old. I regret it.

3. Pay attention to observation and nursing

Give the baby a drop of medicine prescribed by the doctor. Always observe your baby's ears, wipe your baby's external auditory canal with a damp cloth or sterile cotton and keep it clean.

wait patiently

Now that she has seen a doctor, Ma Bao will calm down and wait, as long as the child is in a good mental state and can eat, drink and sleep.

5. Cooperate with doctors to absorb softened earwax

Drop the medicine prescribed by the doctor for 3-4 days. At this time, the earwax in the ear should be completely softened. Just go to the hospital. After reading it, the doctor will use special tools to help the baby suck out the earwax.

6. It is better to use indigenous methods with caution.

I heard the old man say that dropping sesame oil into the ear will soften the earwax. Personally, I think it's better not to drip, because you can't guarantee the hygiene and safety of sesame oil. In case of otitis media, who is in charge? In addition, the baby can't stand the toss.

Matters needing attention

Always observe your baby's ears to avoid wax accumulation; Never dig ear wax for your baby in the way that adults dig ear wax.
