We should care for our ears by :
• Removing the wax in the ear canal regularly.
• Not inserting objects into the ear canal.
• Wearing protective ear gadget when working under conditions where the noise level is high.
• Gargling with a mild disinfectant when we have cold or throat infections. This will prevent the spread of the infection to the middle and inner ear.
• Seeing a doctor when there is an infection.
• Always clean the outer ear with a lump of clean towel or a cotton bud. Do not poke the ear with a sharp object.
Removal of foreign object from the ear
If a foreign body: insect, stone e.t.c. enters the ear, put some drops of warm water and lie with that side down. After sometime, it will come out. But of it persists, consult a doctor.
