What should I do if my ears are blocked by earwax? This makes cleaning easy

There will be earwax in the external auditory canal. If it is not cleaned regularly, it will easily accumulate and affect hearing. Normal cleaning is relatively simple and can be done using a cotton swab. If the earwax is too hard to clean, you will need to find a professional.

1. Use a cotton swab to gently rotate it in the external auditory canal, then turn your ear downward and the earwax will come out by itself; try not to use sharp objects such as fingernails or iron sticks to pick your ears.

2. Do not form a habit of cleaning your ears frequently. Generally, you should clean your ears once a week or so. However, in dusty places or for people with "oily ears", you can do it less frequently. You can control it according to your own situation.

3. If you don't clean your ears for a long time, cerumen blockage may form, and it will be difficult to clean it out by yourself.

4. Use sodium bicarbonate ear drops to soften the earwax, and then rinse the ear canal with water.

5. When applying ear drops, try to lie on your side to allow the ear drops to fully soak the earwax.

6. Go to the ENT department of a regular hospital and let the doctor remove earwax using professional and safe methods.
