When he went to a doctor to have it checked—specifically an ENT specialist—it was discovered that his right ear was already suffering from an infection due to impacted earwax.The physician gave him antibiotics and topical medication to treat it for a week before a procedure was finally performed, which he described as “extremely painful.”
“After doc tried to extract the impacted earwax, hindi niya matanggal sa sobrang tigas at hindi ko na kayang i-tolerate ‘yung sakit. So I have to go back ulit after, palalambutin muna ‘yung ear wax,” he continued.“Sobrang sakit niya to the point na parang matatanggal na ‘yung skin sa loob ng ears. Dumugo ‘yung skin ko sa loob ng tenga sa sobrang kapit nung earwax,” he said.
While it has become a habit for many people, health professionals are against the use of cotton buds to clean the ears. In fact, they do not recommend removing the earwax at all since it acts as a moisturizer and has antibacterial properties, among others. Instead, it pushes the earwax down to the ear canal and impacts the eardrum which could possibly lead to its rupture.
