Removing Earwax:

There are numerous questions and doubts on how to properly perform in the removal and cleaning of the ears amongst children. Here are some helpful information regarding the anatomical structure of the ears of a child:

• They have shorter ear canals.
• Their Eustachian tube is shorter compared to the adults.
• Their cochlea is highly sensitive than those of the adults due to the aging process.
• The eardrum is as sensitive as those with adults.

How to Clean Ears?

It is advisable that ear care should be done once or twice a week. Sometimes other physicians would recommend that you clean the ears once or twice a month as the earwax serves to help prevent microorganisms and other foreign bodies from entering the ear canal.

Below are some tips on how to properly clean ears of your child:

• Before doing the procedure, make sure you have washed your hands thoroughly.
• To facilitate clearer view and vision of the ear canal, pull down the earlobe and pull it back slowly. This will give an easier insertion of the cotton swabs. For adults, you have to do the opposite: you pull up the earlobe and back.
