#asktheexpert ..hii.i m mother of 4 months old baby.. she has wax in his ear..what to do

A. You need a washcloth or cotton ball and some warm water. It is not safe to use cotton swabs or to stick anything inside your baby's ears. If you notice ear wax inside his or her ears, there is no need to remove it. Use a soft washcloth dipped in warm water and squeeze it out to get rid of excess water. Use it to wipe around the entire area of the baby's ear to gradually clean any earwax that has trickled outside. Most of the wax will fall out on its own. The remaining can be wiped off. Do not put the washcloth inside the ear canal. Let your paediatrician take care of the wax buildup inside the ear.
