@entdoctor_rekha: A patient came in today with an injured eardrum and the cause was something many people still use daily… a cotton bud. Cotton buds are too big for the ear canal. Instead of cleaning, they usually push earwax deeper inside. If inserted too far, they can puncture the eardrum and damage the middle and inner ear. So how should you clean your ears safely? • Use a warm, damp cloth to gently wipe the outer part of the ear only after showering • Let your ears self-clean naturally — earwax slowly moves out on its own • Chewing and jaw movements help old wax move toward the opening If you feel blocked, don’t try to remove it yourself. Get it checked safely by a professional. #ent #entsurgeon #earbuds
