Question
The baby is six months old, and today while the baby was sleeping, the parent saw earwax inside the baby’s ear. The parent then used a tissue to roll it into a ball to help remove the earwax, but may have applied a bit too much force. The parent is unsure if this could harm the baby.
Answer
I’m glad to help you with this. If the baby did not show any discomfort after ear cleaning, such as crying, then it should not have caused any harm. Suggestion: In the future, do not attempt to clean your baby’s ears yourself. Under normal circumstances, earwax will naturally fall out with the baby’s chewing and swallowing movements. This is the suggestion for the question “If there is earwax in a six-month-old baby’s ear, will it have any effects?” I hope this helps you. Wishing you and your baby good health!
