Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
I have gone through your query regarding dry impacted ear wax in you two years old child. For this I would like to say that wax is not a serious problem and you may use ear drop containing- Sodium bicarbonate + phenol + Glycerine. The ear drop having above combination will quickly soften ear wax in 3 to 5 days and after that it may be removed by succession clearence. This cleaning should be done by an expert as to avoid injury to ear drum.
Regards.
