How do you know if your baby has too much ear wax?

My baby is 7 months old. I wonder how can you know if your baby has too much ear wax?

1 Answer

The impact of too much wax could cause hearing loss and importantly it would make it difficult for a doctor to evaluate the tympanic membranes. If your child has an ear infection or ear pain it will be important to remove the wax in order to see the eardrum and determine if there is an infection behind the eardrum.
