Ear canal delicate: The ear canal is where wax collects, and we as parents want to get it out! But we should only use strategies that DON'T involve inserting something into the ear--even if it's very soft. Products like Debrox are a more gentle way to clean the ear. To be sure there was no damage to other structures, recommend you have your Pediatrician look in the ear.
