How often should i clean my ears to keep them clean?everyday? every other day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Every few weeks: For those folks suffer from a continual problem wax buildup, there are some over the counter products that do a terrific job of gently cleaning ear wax from the ear canal. These products are usually referred to "ear wax removal" kits and usually contain some sort of liquid drop and an irrigating bulb syringe. Use the removal solution in your ears at night every week or so.
