    There is always a lot of baby's earwax, earwax is called cerumen, there is a circle around the external ear canal**, its structure is the same as the **structure on the surface of the body, which has the distribution of sebaceous glands, and if the sebaceous glands secrete more oily substances, they are oily**; The secretion of oily substances is less dry **; In between is neutral**. Most people's earwax is dry, yellow, white, and crumb-like stuff that can fall out as you move your head and chew something. If your baby's earwax is such a dry, debris, or debris-like thing, you don't need to worry about it, and it can fall out with your head and chewing.

    Some earwax is oily or dilute earwax is related to the secretion of oily substances, this is also normal, not abnormal, dilute earwax can be gently dipped in a cotton swab, if the earwax is very hard, a lot, try not to dig, try to go to the hospital to let the doctor deal with it, so as not to damage the external ear canal.

    If the baby has more earwax, it will affect his hearing, and parents should know more about the child's physical condition. If it is a minor ear canal blockage, parents can deal with it themselves. If the blockage is severe, it is recommended to go to a professional place to clean it.

    Earwax fills the ears, and for children, it is similar to stuffing a cotton ball in the ear, and the sound will be a little small and a little distant. For children who are extremely uncooperative, if there are no special circumstances, it is generally not a big problem to deal with it in a few years. The so-called special circumstances refer to the following:

    1. In the early stage, there is too much earwax, which has formed a hard lump, and the earwax swells and causes pain after the child swims or bathes in the water.

    2. Parents forcibly help their children pick out their ears has caused damage, and most of the earwax remains.

    3. The doctor considered that the child had otitis media, but the earwax completely sealed the ear canal and could not see the eardrum.

    The cerumen plug in young children cannot be forcibly removed, and it is easy for children to cause damage to the ear canal and eardrum during the struggle. Therefore, if you have to take cerurumen, sometimes you need to operate under anesthesia, otherwise, it is not to treat the child, but to put the child on the tiger chair.

    When measuring, the temperature field in the ear hole will change due to the ear thermometer plugging the ear hole, and the indication value will change if the measurement time is too long. When repeating the measurement multiple times, the reading will be different each time if the measurement interval is not suitable.

    Cerumen has the effect of protecting the external auditory canal** and adherent foreign objects, and usually excretes it by itself with the help of chewing, mouth opening and other exercises.

    Children have a lot of earwax, and parents can use a cotton swab to wipe it out.

    Under normal circumstances, as long as the child's ears do not hurt, itch and hear well, cerumen does not have to be manually removed, and when talking, eating, and sneezing, it will slowly loosen and fall off and be discharged.

    There are a small number of children with strong cerumen gland secretion, their external auditory canal is relatively narrow and long, the muscles are relatively relaxed, and the strength of the jaw joint is not enough when chewing, and the cerumen is not easy to be eliminated; If you often use fingers with bacteria to dig the ear canal, when the external ear canal is damaged and causes inflammation, the cerumen will increase, gather with the external dust, form a larger mass, and even harden, forming a brown cerumen plug, which is tightly blocked in the ear canal.

    Cerumen plugging can compress the eardrum and cause earache, tinnitus, and even vertigo. Once water is poured into the ear canal during bathing and hair washing, the cerumen plug will be soaked and enlarged, aggravating the blockage, causing inflammation of the external auditory canal and eardrum. In order to remove more cerumen in children's ears, some parents often use hairpins, toothpicks, matchsticks, ear picks, etc. to dig up cerumen in children's ears, which is very dangerous.

    Because of this ear picking, if the child is disobedient or has an accident, it is easy to hurt the eardrum, you can drop a few drops of oil before picking the ear and gently wipe the cerumen in the ear canal with a cotton swab.
