[blparent] EXTERNAL: Ear Drops-How To Clean Ears ... Help!

[Veronica Smith]

The reason children and adults for that matter have wax is to protect the
membranes in our ears.  In older adults, the wax can build up and clog up
our ears, as for children, we shouldn't take it out, it is all they have to
protect that tempanic membrane.  V

Peroxide will get the gunk out. It will bubble and feel like bubble
bath. Wrap a towel around his eyes because if some accidentally drips
down and gets into his eyes, it will sting like the dickens. 
Did you get the wax flushed out? The doctor should be able to do this.
I'd go back, ask them to flush it out and then see what is needed. 
Speaking for myself, I had a *huge*chunk of wax in my ear awhile back.
My regular doctor not an ENT, just a gerenic doctor flushed it out. Felt
wonderful and I did not have to do anything else with it. 
Finally, did your peditritian tell you there was a wax build-up? Wax
buildup does not equal ear infection. If you were not told of the wax
buildup, I'd suggest you need another peditritian. Saying that, wax can
build up very quickly. I'm curious to know why you kept taking him to
the doctor with no resultion for so long?

Hi guys, Today, we found out after 2 months of taking Corban to the DR.
and
each time, being told he didn't have an ear infection! .

Well, today, we took him to a  E.N.T and he had a double in both ears,
with
enough Wax to rebuild The World Trade Center! .

He fights me putting Ear Drops In. I'm afraid to do it, don't want to
puncture anything!...

Also, what do you clean there little ears with?

Many Dr.s told me to wipe around the outside with a wet towel. and that
doesn't clean the inside! .
