Kid Ear Wax Removal Drops. Manual removal of earwax might be a risk for children with bleeding disorders. Manual removal is especially useful when you can t use wax softening ear drops or irrigation such as when kids have ear tubes or a perforated eardrum.
Sometimes a doctor will put drops into the ear canal to soften the wax and break it down. The drops work by softening the hardened wax in the ear canal so the wax can then work its way out of the ear on its own. An accurate diagnosis depends on our ability to see clearly from the outer ear to the eardrum and beyond the middle ear space.
Apply this medication into the ear usually twice daily or as directed by your doctor.
Reasons for this necessary procedure include if the family member cannot remove the wax build up or if the patient has ear discomfort a fever ear drainage or hearing loss. Pour a few drops of earwax removal drops in your ear canal. Never insert anything even a cotton swab into your child s ear canal. If you do not have earwax removal drops you can use any baby oil or olive oil.
