A three-year-old child has a lot of earwax. I dripped a drop of sesame oil into the child's ear, affecting the child's ear.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: There are possibilities that may affect hearing. Due to the curvature of the external auditory canal and the lack of subcutaneous tissue, removing it may easily cause pain. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the cerumen without damaging the external auditory canal and eardrum, and also to minimize the patient's pain.
1. Gently insert the cerumen hook along the posterior and superior wall of the external auditory canal between the cerumen to prevent damaging the eardrum. Then, gently rotate the cerumen hook to grasp the cerumen. Loosen it while slowly pulling it out.
2. First, apply a 3-5% sodium bicarbonate solution to soften the cerumen, every 2 hours, and after 3 days, rinse the cerumen with warm water. If there is a narrowed external auditory canal or acute/chronic purulent otitis media, the rinsing method should not be used.
