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 impaction occurs when earwax accumulates in the ear canal, cannot be washed away naturally and causes blockage. Although earwax is a natural and useful physiological secretion to protect the body, if the blockage occurs due to earwax impaction, it becomes a really uncomfortable problem, requiring the patient to quickly remove it.
