Have seen Rayner stuck his fingers into his ears pretty often lately. So I figured there could be a build up of ear wax *shy shy, don’t really check their ears that often* that is irritating him. Made him lie down and what I saw shocked me. There were huge huge chunks of ear wax covering almost his entire tiny little ear hole. Quickly took some olive oil and dropped 2 drops into each ear hole hoping to dissolve all the ear wax.
Checked his ears the next morning expecting to clean out all the dissolved ear wax but I was wrong. The chunk of ear wax was too huge to be completely dissolved by the olive oil. It only managed to dissolve off a bit of the sides, dis-lodging and lossen it a little. But it was good enough for me, I was able to dig out the lossen ear wax and clear up the blockage.
Wanted to test if he was hearing alright. I asked him a question.
Me: Rayner, mummy cleaned your ears already, can you hear better already?
Rayner: huh!!!
Me: lol……hahahahaha

Both my children have watery wax. Usually I will clean their ears after their bath. They love it.

I’ve just checked Qianyi’s ears after reading your post..no ear wax.. I didn’t know olive oil can be used to clean ears..thanks for sharing! :p
Kelly: no problem….we are all here to share our experiences right!!! kekekeke
Oh, thanks for sharing your method on how to clean the ear wax. In fact, i seldom check my son’s ears as i scare i would hurt him.
Huisia: don’t worry about hurting him, olive oil is the safest and easiest way to clean their ears…the ear wax just flows out!!! unusual but effective way!
me too seldom check the girls ear ler…paiseh!
Jesslyn: think we are guilty some point of time…kekekek
That’s a new one for me too, olive oil! But do you use an earpicker or cottonbuds?
Pickleshane: hi there, I use a earpicker because the cottonbuds will only push the ear wax deeper into the ear hole……
