When children’s earwax is too hard to pull out, it is recommended to bring your child to the ear, nose and throat department of a regular hospital in a timely manner, and be operated by a professional doctor to clean or pull out the earwax after it is softened, rather than pulling it out by yourself to avoid damaging your child’s external ear canal. Earwax is an oily secretion from the cerumen glands of the ear canal, which gathers into a mass when it is overproduced or when its discharge is blocked. If the earwax is too hard to remove, parents are advised to take their children to the hospital. Usually, the doctor will first use sodium bicarbonate ear drops to soften and inflate the earwax, and then use tweezers, cerumen hooks, or rinsing of the external auditory canal to remove the earwax according to the actual situation. When earwax blocks the ear canal, it can affect hearing and irritate the nerves in the ear, causing symptoms such as dizziness or coughing, so it needs to be removed. When earwax is too hard, parents should not pull it out with brute force because children’s skin and mucous membrane are relatively thin, and pulling it out on their own may damage the skin and even cause bleeding and infection, which may lead to otitis externa and other diseases.
