Is it safe to use cotton swabs to clean ears? Should I use clear ear wax or will it harm my ears? I read even too much ear wax can harm ears and cause ear pain. Please suggest what should I do?

@jihann Hello, you should never use cotton swabs to clean your ear wax. Using cotton swabs to clean inside your ears can cause a variety of ear problems, including things like earwax impaction, injury, and infection. If you must clean your ears, first soften the earwax and then irrigate your ear with warm water, allowing it to drain. Never insert an object like a cotton swab into your ear. There are several items that people use to clean their ears like Cotton swabs, Hairpins, Tweezers, and Pens and pencils. You should never use such products to clean ears. Thank You.
