Clean my Ear, Mom!

I really scare to clean Josh's ear canal.
Afraid that he might move and I hurt the eardrum and bleeding was always become my nightmare *hehehe*.
Cause that reason, I only brought the cotton which specially design for baby.

But the problem occur, even I cleaned his ear canal regularly since baby, he still try put his finger and scratch his ear.


Josh - 6 Months Old


One day, using the mini lamp, I found out that his ear canal was dirty and the eardrum almost closed. He has a dried earwax type, my guess, the more I clean it, the more I push the it further inside.
I have shared this to my friend and they suggest to visit a specialist doctor for checking, with a condition after Josh reach one year old. (I still don't know the reason why need to wait until one year old - forgot to ask the doctor *grin*).


On last September, we bring josh to specialist doctor - RS THT Bedah Prof Nizar (Jl. Kesehatan No.9 Jakarta. Phone:+62 21 3843596 or +62 21 3503435).
We came early in morning around 8.30am, and there already 5 peoples there, while the doctor shall came at 9am.
Good one, Doctor was very on time (I rarely found this nowdays).


Fyi, I can't take the picture while inside the room.
Here was the story:
I have prepare the device to distract josh attention. But according to Doctor, That no used, all children will cry. Better let them cry and done the procedure as soon as possible.
What I do, Sit on the chair, used my hand and feet holding Josh tightly.
While Josh's head hold by the assistant, and the Doctor quickly using his pin set and take it out.
Yeah, Josh do cry like crazy.
But not too long, he stop crying and feel relief.


My doctor suggest me to clean his ear canal once in a while with the small cotton swab (cover with baby oil), only the front area. 
Nowdays Josh enjoying my free service - clean his ear. And he cry if i stop the activity *haiz*
Hey don't do it everyday.
