How to clean ear wax

If a patient has earwax inside the ear, the specific treatment is as follows: 1. No treatment needed: If the amount of earwax is not large, presenting a crumbly or small amount of flakes, not forming an obvious blockage to the ear canal, and not causing obvious adverse effects on hearing, in this case, special cleaning is generally not needed, and in most cases, the cerumen in the patient’s ear canal can be gradually discharged on its own. 2. Tools If the earwax in the ear is too large and gradually builds up into a mass, forming a cerumen mass that is difficult to discharge on its own, in this case you can go to the hospital for further consultation and treatment and use special tools such as tweezers or an attractor to remove the cerumen. 3. Remove after softening: If the cerumen in the patient’s ear canal is too large or too hard in texture to be cleaned and removed directly, you can first use sodium bicarbonate If the cerumen in the ear canal is too large or too hard to be cleaned and removed directly, you can first use sodium bicarbonate solution or phenol glycerin ear drops to soften and dilute the ear before further cleaning and removal.
