@xiaobin.wu7: Cotton Swabs Can Push Earwax Deeper Many parents use cotton swabs to clean a child’s ears, but once the swab goes into the ear canal, it often pushes earwax deeper instead of removing it. That wax can become impacted, block the canal, and move closer to the eardrum. This can cause pain, irritation, and a worse blockage over time. The problem is not “missing the wax” — it’s pushing it farther in. The safer rule is simple: Don’t put cotton swabs into a child’s ear canal. If your child has ear pain, trouble hearing, a blocked feeling, or you think earwax is impacted, let a doctor examine it instead of trying to dig it out at home. #parentingtips #pediatria #baby #dangerous
