7. How Do I Clean My Ears?

Do not push anything into your ear canal smaller than your finger wrapped in a cloth. Wash the external ear with a clean washcloth. You may use a few drops of baby oil, mineral oil, or glycerin to soften the earwax. Once softened, the earwax should exit the ear on its own. A physician may also help by irrigating the ear with water or manually removing the earwax.
