How You Should Clean Your Ears At Home | Why Cotton Buds Are Bad : Dr.Ejaz Ali

Using cotton buds (or Q-tips) to clean your ears is generally not recommended by healthcare professionals. Here’s why:

1. **Risk of Injury**:
Cotton buds can push earwax further into the ear canal, which may lead to blockages, discomfort, or even damage to the eardrum.

2. **Earwax Impaction**:
Instead of removing earwax, using a cotton bud often pushes it deeper into the ear canal, which can lead to impacted earwax, requiring medical removal.

3. **Infection Risk**:
The use of cotton buds can cause small scratches or abrasions inside the ear canal, increasing the risk of infections.

4. **Natural Cleaning Process**:
Ears are self-cleaning organs. The earwax produced by the glands inside the ear canal helps trap dust and debris, which naturally moves out of the ear over time.

For cleaning, it's usually sufficient to wipe the outer ear with a damp cloth. If you feel like you have excess earwax, it’s better to consult with a healthcare professional who can remove it safely.
