Question
A six-month-old baby was found to have earwax in its ear while sleeping. The parent tried to clean it with a paper roll, worried about any potential effects on the baby.
Answer
I’m glad to provide you with an answer. If the baby does not show discomfort after cleaning, such as crying or fussing, it is usually not harmful. Recommendations: In the future, avoid cleaning your baby’s ears yourself, as earwax typically falls out naturally with chewing movements.
