My mom had a thing for cleaning my ears with q tips. That stopped one summer when I had to go to the dr for impacted ear wax.. after three hours of flushing and an instrument, it came out. I dont let her near my ears now.. lol..The dr said if you must clean your ears, do NOT put the Q tip into your ear canal..just clean the out side.. If you want to get rid of earwax, get a syringe with HOT water and peroxide and flush your ear out that way. It will make you dizzy and a little nauseous, but it works. Please check with the dr first though..
*NOTE: i am not an ear doctor, but I've had enough issues with my ears and throat to be one!! lol*
