my son is 6 years old.
what would be proper way to clean his Ears?
is it advised to clean at house by parents or we must visit a doctor?
what will happen if Ears not cleaned for a long time and how we come to know that some problem or pain is because of Ears issue?
At old days when we were kids, parents used to lubricate Ears with some oil. Can it be done in present days also?

Accepted Answer

Hi dear mom.
U can clean the ear from outside by using soft cotton cloth. Do not deep clean inside as there is auto cleaning mechanism in the ear to clean it. If ur child is crying while touching it then this is due to ear infection. Otherwise if normal then no need to worry
