Kinda gross: ear wax?

My kids have the grossest waxy ears of any of the children I have ever cared for.

I qtip them regularly and wash them when bathing. You could still grow potatoes. :-)

Anyone used Debrox or something like it on a toddler? I am wondering if DS pronunciation might improve if I clear out some of the debris in there.

I keep forgetting to ask the pedi about it. Just want Nestie wisdom on the subject.

    Not sure what Debrox is but the good friend uses mineral oil.  He puts a few drops in, lets it work its way down, then wipes with a cotton ball or tissue.

    You may want to Google it.  But he's apparently done it that way for years.

    my ENT suggested a mix of peroxide and water in equal amounts in a aspirator, spray it in, let it sit a few minutes. My DD never stays still for it.

    Your kiddos are probably too young for this but they have those "ear cone" things that are supposed to draw out the icky stuff.

    I think even with debrox they have to let it get in there and keep still for a bit. Am I right debrox people?

    I usually just take her to the ENT every 3-6 mos and have him do it.

    I'll pin him down and then give him ice cream. That should hold him long enough.
