POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Using Baby Ear Drops
If the build-up is deep, you might need to use ear drops. Before administering ear drops, ensure that you use the ones which are recommended by your baby’s paediatrician. Calm down your baby and keep him engaged in some activity, else choose a time of the day when your baby is usually silent and rested. Hold the bottle of ear drops in your palms to slightly warm it up. Lay your baby on your lap, with the blocked ear facing towards you. Use an eyedropper and fill it up with the solution in the bottle.
Place the dropper close to the baby’s ear, and drop the solution gradually, until the baby’s ear canal is completely full. Wait a few minutes for the solution to settle inside the ear. Your baby may feel a weird sensation, so ensure to keep him calm. The ear drops will soften the wax in the canal, which will then flow out of the ear. Next dip a washcloth in warm water, squeeze out excess water and clean up any excess drops and the wax that flowed out of the ear. Do not try to put the washcloth inside baby ears. This treatment needs to be repeated for at least three to five days as recommended by your doctor.
