    When there is too much earwax, roll it into a cotton swab with absorbent cotton to gently clean out the earwax; You can also use an ear canal spoon to gently pull out the earwax.

    Usually use a cotton swab dipped in 75% alcohol to clean the external ear canal frequently to reduce earwax.

    If the earwax has formed a hard lump and it is difficult to remove it by yourself, you can go to the ENT outpatient department of the hospital to ask a doctor to pick it up.

    Earwax, medically known as cerumen, is the secretion of cerumen glands on the external auditory canal, which is liquid and very viscous when it begins to secrete, and becomes a small solid after drying. In general, as the mouth continues to open and close, the earwax will move outward and fall off on its own. However, when there is a lot of earwax, it will block the small external ear canal and affect hearing; Occasionally, some children hear the sound of a soo in their ears.

    When washing hair or swimming, water flows into the external ear canal and causes the earwax to swell, which can cause the above phenomenon to occur.

    Some parents see their children with earwax in their ears and use their fingers, hairpins, ear pickers or matchsticks to dig them up. However, because the child is afraid of pain, but is unwilling to cooperate and cry incessantly, it is easy to dig the child's external ear canal**, and the damaged area is prone to bacterial infection, causing otitis externa and ear boils. More seriously, the eardrum is punctured, resulting in otitis media and hearing loss in children.

    So, how do you dig your child's earwax? In fact, for children with little earwax, there is generally no need to deal with it, and a cotton swab can be used to gently clean it at the entrance of the external ear canal. If there is more earwax, you can use 3 sodium bicarbonate, that is, baking soda solution, drop 1 drop into the ear every 2 3 hours, 3 4 times a day, 1 2 days after the earwax becomes soft and then gently take it out with small tweezers, pay attention to this process must fix the child's head, do not make it move.

    Usually, a small cotton swab coated with chlortetracycline eye ointment should be used every week to roll it in the external ear canal, which can help sterilize and moisten the external ear canal, so that the earwax will fall off naturally and will not form large lumps. If the earwax forms a hard lump and causes the external ear canal to be blocked, then you should go to the hospital to ask an ENT doctor for treatment, and do not forcibly dig the earwax at home.
