Can the dirt in the ears be cleaned?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you can use cotton swabs to clean it. It is recommended not to use hydrogen peroxide. Medical advice: "After three and a half months, there is a lot of dirty stuff in the ear hole" - this is mainly what we usually call "earwax," which is mainly shed epidermis and accumulated dust, etc. Normal people will have a similar situation if they don't clean their ears for a long time. You can use cotton swabs to gently clean it. Since children's skin is more delicate, using hydrogen peroxide may cause irritation. Moreover, children's external auditory canals and other parts are not as developed as adults', so residual liquid after using hydrogen peroxide is more likely to remain, causing discomfort.
