Children under the age of 3 have a strong curiosity and want to identify everything through their mouths, which is very troublesome for parents. Some babies actually eat their earwax, which makes adults feel very nauseous, but they are even more worried that it may affect their physical health. So, what should I do if my baby eats earwax?
1. If parents find that their baby has eaten earwax, don't be nervous, and don't panic. Under normal circumstances, earwax does not contain any harmful substances and does not cause any harm to the baby's body. It is excreted through the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, there is no need to take medication or go to the hospital. Just wait for the baby to excrete on their own, which will not have any serious consequences.
2. If you want some measures, you can encourage your baby to drink more water to promote excretion. If you find that your child has eaten earwax, you should always pay attention to it. If vomiting occurs, take your child to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner. By inducing vomiting, you can spit out the earwax you have eaten. Also observe if there is any inflammation in the child's ear canal.
3. After all, it is unhygienic for babies to eat earwax. As parents, it is necessary to clean their children's ear canals in a timely manner, observe their physical condition at all times, and keep their bodies clean. And it is also necessary to provide preliminary ideological guidance to the baby, telling them common knowledge about body parts, so that the baby knows what can and cannot be eaten, and cultivating healthy lifestyle habits.
