My baby is 2.5 months old and yesterday while feeding her i noticed that wax has accumulated in her left ear which has turned completely black and it has blocked her ear canal completely. Moreover immediately after her birth when an OAE test was done, her left ear did not pass and was further refered which eventually got a pass within a month. I guess the wax is there in her ear since her birth. Can wax cause pain in baby's ear? What can be done to remove or clean that wax?
