As is the case with most bodily fluids, earwax is rarely the topic of casual conversation. But the fact is, this sticky substance is actually very important for our bodies and can tell us a lot about our health.
It sounds like a disgusting idea at first, but the next time you clean your ears you should take a close look at what comes out.
Yet despite how important this substance is, no one wants to see it dripping out of someone's ear. So when you notice that there's a bit too much of it in you ear, feel free to take a damp clothand wash it out. If you choose to use a cotton swab, be sure not to insert it into your ear canal or you run the risk of damaging your eardrum.
t's normal for earwax to come out of our ears from time to time — it's just part of the natural cleaning process. But when wax pours out of your ears in large amounts and contains pus or blood, it's a sure sign of a perforated eardrum. In this case, seek medical attention immediately.
