Poked baby's ear

Question

Poked baby's ear

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hi doc Yesterday i was cleaning my baby's ear with earbud. I removed little cotton and then cleaned it again. I am sure that i didn't go deep in the ear but suddenly my baby started crying. I checked the ear with flashlight for any scar or blood but it was all okay. Now whenever i am trying to see the ear, she is not letting me touch it. Also, she is having wax since 6-7 months. Please help and suggest.

I must inform you that these ear buds are NOT for cleaning ears. You can clean only pinna of ears. Announce to all your friends. Go and see ENT specialist They check it. And prescribe wax dissolving drug which will allow wax to dissolve and flow out. Then clean it from outside. Sometime you may very rarely require syring
