Hi, my 8 week old baby has had very hard ear wax in one of her ears. For the last 4 days some of it comes out each day but alot more seems to form behind it making it a continual problem. Should we be worried that there is something seriously wrong? Thanks.
It may be due to ear wax. For that you can apply waxclear ear drops after ENT consultation. I would suggest you to consult with ENT surgeon for wax removal. Avoid ear piercing. For pain you can give syp acetaminophen. Maintain proper hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
