Earwax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the glands in the ear canal. It plays a crucial role in maintaining ear health, but excessive earwax can cause problems.
The Good of Earwax
The Bad of Earwax
Maintaining Healthy Earwax
Avoid using cotton swabs: Refrain from using cotton swabs (Q-tips) to remove earwax, as this can push the wax further into the ear canal.
Use ear drops: Use ear drops to help dissolve excess earwax.
Dry your ears: Dry your ears thoroughly after showering or bathing.
Consult a doctor: If you experience discomfort, hearing loss, or other ear problems, consult a doctor or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.
