In normal ears, there may be a small amount of cerumen, which can be discharged with the change of head position or the movement of the jaw joints, and there is no need to pull out the ears, and it is recommended to consult a doctor in time for treatment if discomfort occurs. Cerumen in the external ear canal is secreted by cerumen glands in the external ear canal. Under normal circumstances, cerumen has a protective effect on the external ear canal and tympanic membrane. It does not need to be cleaned. Since it is impossible to accurately determine the site of earwax, blindly pulling out the ear can cause damage to the ear skin or eardrum, which is prone to infection. If the water in the ear canal can be used after the use of clean cotton swabs, gently placed on the outer mouth of the ear canal to absorb moisture, not to poke too deep, so as not to cause the secretion in the ear canal into the depth of the ear canal. If, for some reason, cerumen accumulates in the external ear canal and clumps together, blocking the external ear canal, it becomes a cerumen embolism. A hospital visit is recommended. Cerumen can be softened with a cerumen softener, such as sodium bicarbonate ear drops, and expelled by a doctor with warm saline rinsing or suction. For ear discomfort, it is recommended to go to the ENT department of your local hospital for treatment by a medical professional.
