Not long ago I came across a problem concerning my younger daughter`s ears, cleaning them to be exact. Every time I tried to use a cotton swab to clean her ears she burst into tears and as soon as she started talking Sophiko kept shouting, "It hurts, it hurts!!!".

The Facts on Earwax
You might wonder about earwax and whether it needs to be cleaned out. Actually, even though earwax seems yucky, it serves a purpose. Your ear canal makes earwax to protect the ear. After it is produced, it slowly makes its way to the opening of the ear. Then it either falls out or is removed when you wash. If you want, you can clean the opening of your ear gently with a washcloth.
