Question 1

is it normal for ears to feel full after cleaning all the wax out?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: Feeling fullness doesn't usually happen after cleaning out ear wax, so it's likely that there was a little liquid left behind from the cleaning. Also you may have pushed some wax down close to the ear drum.  Both should clear in a day or two. If the ears start hurting, go to your doctor to have him/her look to be sure there is not any infection. You might also have, by chance, started a cold.

Question 2

how can i clean my baby's ears? the entrance looks like it has a lot of wax.

Accepted Answer

Only outside: Wax production is a normal process. It is only advisable to wipe away what you observe with a damp soft cloth or baby wipe. Never place anything inside your baby's ear smaller than your elbow. Placing anything inside your baby's ear may cause a puncture to the ear drum. Specifically a Q tip. All the best.

Question 3

i don't have any wax in y ear?

Accepted Answer

No wax in ear: Don't worry!!! Chances are that you do make enough ear wax to protect your ear canal, just not enough to be bothersome or noticeable. Some people have dry wax while others have wet. Don't put anything in your ear canal smaller than your elbow. Even tho Qtips fit perfectly, you run risk of perforating your ear drum or at least packing ear wax deeper into canal.

Question 4

The skin of your ear canal is designed to expel the wax at a normal rate and using things such as q-tips can disrupt the normal amount of wax needed to protect your ears. If blockage - see ent.
