Can a 3-year-old child dig out earwax

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If the baby is cooperative, you can clean it. There is no problem. Use a cotton swab, gently clean the sides. You can use a flashlight to illuminate it for better visibility, making it less likely to hurt the ear canal. If you find hardened earwax, don't use too much force. If the baby feels pain, you should go to the hospital and ask a doctor for help.
