Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. I was wondering if there are any methods to clean the baby's earwax.Doctor's answer:
Before putting your baby to sleep, apply 1-2 drops of ear drops. When applying the ear drops, you should have your baby lie down on the bed or hold him on your knees. His head should be turned sideways, with the healthy ear down and the affected ear up. After the drops are applied, keep your baby in this position for 2 minutes to allow the earwax to be fully diluted. Place a cotton ball made of a sterile cotton ball into the affected ear of your baby. The next day, remove the cotton ball, and the earwax may stick to it, allowing it to be removed from the ear canal.
