What to do if there is hard earwax in the baby's ear

Many people have earwax in their ears, and children are no exception. Children's ears will also grow earwax, and children's ears will grow harder earwax. Many parents are worried about this phenomenon, because they are afraid that earwax will affect their children's hearing, so many parents will blindly remove earwax for their children. This is wrong. To correctly face the symptoms of earwax in children's ears, let's take a look at it below:

It is normal for the baby to have earwax in the ear canal, because substances are secreted in the ear canal. Over time, these secretions gather to form earwax. Therefore, parents should not panic when earwax appears. For children who do not have much earwax, no special treatment is needed.

Earwax is a substance normally secreted by the human body. When earwax appears, the ear canal should be cleaned regularly. If it is not cleaned properly, iron earwax will be produced. The so-called iron earwax is very hard earwax. When this kind of earwax appears, you should put one or two drops of hydrogen peroxide into the ear to soften the earwax. It will be easier to remove the earwax after it is softened.

It is normal to have hard earwax in the ear. Parents do not need to worry too much. Earwax is closely related to the human endocrine system. Each person's endocrine system is different, so the earwax conditions of different people cannot be exactly the same. If a child's earwax is hard, it only means that the child's body secretes more vigorously. Parents should regularly use cotton swabs to help their children clean their ears. If necessary, you can also drop a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ears to soften the earwax.

The baby's skin is very tender and the ear canal is very small. If you often pick earwax, it is likely to damage the baby's skin and may also bring in some bacteria, causing inflammation and otitis media. If the periosteum is broken, the consequences will be even more disastrous. Therefore, it is recommended that parents do not pick earwax for their baby.

If these methods don't work, it's best to take your child to the hospital for professional earwax removal.

If there is earwax in the child's ears, you cannot dig it out randomly. This will have many impacts on the child's ears. In severe cases, it may cause damage to the child's ears, which will have a greater impact on the child's hearing. If the child has too much earwax, you must use careful methods when digging it out, and avoid using hard objects to dig the child's ears.
