Ditch Pins! Dr. Vinod Yadav's Safe Tips for Earwax Removal

• Using pins, sharp objects, or hot oil to clean ears is dangerous and can damage the eardrum or push wax deeper.
• Ear wax (cerumen) is a natural protective fluid that usually clears on its own, but can harden due to earphones or cotton buds.
• A safe home remedy involves putting 2-3 drops of lukewarm olive oil into the ear twice daily for 3-4 days to soften wax.
• Over-the-counter ear wax softening drops can also be used, but consult a doctor or pharmacist first.
• If home remedies are ineffective, seek professional medical help for safe ear wax removal.
