hi my baby is going to 1 soon and she has been having a bit of smelly ears. we took her to our doc almost 4mnths ago and he said its just wax buildup thats needs to come out, he told us to use warm olive oil. i am a bit worried coz everytime my baby itches inside her ears which is occassionally , i have to clean her ears meaning i take out the ear wax using a bobby pin...yeh i now its not right. other than that she doesnt cry or seems to be in any pain...my question is that is it normal for my baby to be still having smelly ear wax come out after this many mnths ...hw long does it take to heal and she has stuffy nose too...any advice
Hi... smelly ears may be due to Eustachian catarrh, or it may be due to Otis external, which is a kind of fungal infection in the external ear canal. I suggest you ask your pediatrician to examine with an horoscope and then proceed further. Regards -
