Question

My child was born a few days ago, and recently, I don’t know why, they keep scratching their ears. Should I clean the earwax if my child has it?

Answer

Hello, it’s important to regularly clean a baby’s ears. Having a lot of earwax doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem. Compare the earwax with what you’ve observed in the other ear and ask if the baby seems uncomfortable. Consider these factors before blindly following others’ advice to clean the ears. If you still have doubts, it’s advisable to consult a regular hospital for an examination. Pediatric otorhinolaryngological diseases can have a significant impact on patients, so it’s recommended that patients seek specialized medical consultation and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, you can engage in moderate exercise and be cautious about preventing heat-related issues. I hope your baby recovers quickly!
