Many people mistakenly believe that daily earwax removal is a measure of body hygiene. The reality is not so, normally parents do not need to clean the baby's ear canal. In most cases, the outer ear canal will be able to self-clean, and the wax will dry out and fall out. However, there are cases where the baby's earwax is dry and lumpy.

Earwax is a substance that protects the ear from dirt, foreign objects, and even living things. However, there are cases where children have an abnormal amount of earwax and it can cause serious health problems. Excess earwax can harden and block the child's ear.
