Earwax production and accumulation are very prevalent in humans. It is critical to clear your ears regularly to prevent discomfort, irritation, and itching. Dr Aparna Mahajan, ENT Surgeon, Fortis Hospital, Faridabad states the dos and don'ts to remove earwax safely.
Don't Use Finger
Using fingers or objects like cotton buds to remove ear wax is not recommended by ENT surgeon Dr Aparna Mahajan.
Don't Use Earbuds
Pushing the wax farther into the ear can cause injury and trouble. People often use earbuds for cleaning, but it is not an ideal way to remove ear wax.
Use Prescribed Oils
Ear wax usually falls out on its own. If it doesn't, putting two to three drops of olive oil, almond oil, or coconut oil in the ear twice a day can help.
Visit Your Doctor
If the wax blockage persists, it's best to visit an ENT specialist for professional cleaning instead of experimenting at home.
Conclusion
These tips by the expert can help you remove the earwax safely, reducing irritation, itching, and discomfort.
