Why You Shouldn't Clean Your Ears with Cotton Swabs: A Doctor's Comment
Cotton swabs are an item that is familiar to many.
But not everyone knows that they should not be used when cleaning ears, otherwise there is a high probability of injuring the external auditory canal, as well as opening access to microbes.
This statement was made by Dr. Anton Rizaev, reports Gazeta.ru .
As a result, as the specialist explained, one may encounter external otitis, and sometimes even injuries to the eardrum.
As the doctor noted, if there is a lot of wax in the ear, then a cotton swab will only push it further, but will not help solve the problem in any way, but will only provoke a new one, which will lead to severe ear congestion.
More often than not, the deep sections clear themselves on their own.
Rizayev also noted in a conversation with the press that sulfur usually accumulates on the outside, which means that it can be removed quickly and easily. For example, with just a soapy little finger during washing.
