Don’t, the baby’s little ears can not stand this “treatment”, if simple rough a pull out, but will cause harm to the baby, and then again, the ear can not be cleaned too much, especially earwax, not parents want to pull out on the pull out. In view of the ear problem many parents will ignore or do not pay attention to, in order to the healthy growth of the baby, science and technology a baby small ear content. Baby earwax should not pull out? All people will have earwax, baby even small will also have. Since it is a normal phenomenon, earwax not only does not affect the health of the ear, but also shoulders the function of blocking microorganisms / small insects and even water, and most people’s earwax in the self-cleaning effect, the self discharge out of the body …… earwax is indeed unattractive, but this is not the reason for parents to see a time to pull out once, ah, the little ones of the ear canal is very narrow, skin Immunity is also very weak, see a pull out once, it is easy to cause otitis externa, not to mention that the hand of a shake pull out the force is too heavy, but also hurt the baby’s eardrum. Therefore, the overall principle is to occasionally clean on it, the cleaning scope is limited to the outside of the ear and the mouth of the ear hole, cleaning object is limited to the eye can see the earwax. It is best to use wrung out gauze. Don’t bother about the inner ear. Of course, if your baby has so much earwax that it makes your little one uncomfortable, you should still take care of it, but don’t do it yourself, go to the hospital and let the doctor handle it. There are also some newborns who sometimes have moist earwax and a lot of discharge, so cleaning can be done more frequently. What should I do if my baby has water in the ear? There are also moms and dads who look at the baby such a small meatball, nothing dares to start, such as after the baby’s ear into the water, you look at me, I look at you “how to do?” Indeed, when bathing the little baby, the little one as long as not cooperate, head moving around if it is easy to get into the water. Moreover, bacteria will also take advantage of the opportunity to enter, increasing the chances of infection in the baby’s ear canal. The outer ear canal and auricle are relatively easy to handle, just use a clean towel or cotton swab to suck it clean. If there is water inside the ear canal, it is best to use a soft cotton swab to suck it up right away. Before fixing your baby’s little head and gently rotating the swab to insert it, fluff up the cotton a little bit so that it will not easily hurt your baby’s eardrums, and can also suck up more water. This can be repeated a few times until the water is sucked up. If you use paper towels, they must be soft and absorbent. Don’t use poor-quality paper towels, or you’ll be in trouble if they stay in your baby’s ears when they get wet. Mom and dad in the baby bath, with a hand to hold the baby’s head is only “pass marks”, but also with the thumb and tail finger to the baby’s ear gently folded back to cover the ear canal, so as to avoid the bath water into the baby’s ears. Knowing that many parents are not smart, then use soft cotton gently stuffed in the baby’s ears, and take it off in time after the bath. By the way, summer weather is hot, the baby behind the ear is very easy to accumulate sweat and stains, also need to clean in time, otherwise it will develop eczema. As well, if the baby’s tears are rushing when he cries, mom and dad should also wipe the tears in time, otherwise the tears will easily flow down the face into the ear canal, which will also make the ear infected. There are also babies who lie down after eating milk, as a result of spitting up or overflowing milk into the ear canal, in addition to the above methods to clean up in a timely manner, every time the baby after eating milk parents do not let him lie down right away, you can first hold up for a moment to burp, and do not try to lie down to give the baby breastfeeding. How to take care of the baby’s small ears Before care, parents can first judge whether the baby’s hearing is normal, simply put, 5-6 months of the baby has hearing, if the baby is too quiet, to the big sound without jumping response, indicating that there may be a problem with the hearing, the need to go to the hospital to check out, not to be expanded here. Then, when breastfeeding, it is best to let the baby in a semi-sitting position, because the baby’s ears are not yet fully developed, the Eustachian tube is relatively short and the position of the low and straight, the baby swallowing, chewing, sneezing or crying, it is very easy to choke on milk so that milk along the Eustachian tube into the middle ear. If the baby has a cold or otitis media, parents had better not take him on the plane, because the baby’s Eustachian tube is in a kind of edema, air travel will increase the pressure on the ear. You can wait until the baby’s condition improves, or change to other means of transportation. Some babies also have preauricular fistula, which is a small eye next to the ear, which is actually a common congenital malformation. In addition to localized itching, sometimes gently squeezing around the small eye, there will be a little white secretion, these secretions and a little odor. As long as the baby has no other symptoms and there is no infection, there is no need to deal with it. Diet as light as possible, usually do not want to squeeze, keep the local clean. If the acute infection has formed an abscess, you need to go to the hospital for treatment or excision surgery.
