2. Use some solution to soften it. This is for small hard earwax, you can add drops of a solution that can soften it, such as sodium bicarbonate. It is also commonly known as baking soda solution. The solution here is of course diluted, with a high concentration will certainly cause some damage to the body, parents need to understand the relevant usage before use. It will last for a day or two, and can be removed with tweezers three or four times a day. When taking, pay attention to one thing, do not let children move around.
