Ear Cleaning
I (Sal) heard that using Q-Tips or cotton swabs isn't the best, so I did some research...
What's the best way to get rid of ear wax?
By Robert K. Jackler, MD
"June 5, 2000 -- One thing you definitely don't want to do is get rid of all your earwax. Earwax isn't dirt. It's a normal secretion that protects your ear, just the way other kinds of wax protect your car.
If water gets in your ear canal -- while you're swimming or taking a shower, for instance -- earwax will cause the water to bead up and move away from your eardrum. Then the slipperiness of the wax encourages the water to run out of the canal. In addition, earwax is slightly acidic, which discourages bacterial or fungal growth in the moist, dark ear canal. Without earwax, it would be much harder to avoid ear infections."
Also, I've watched the consumers/residents I work with at the group home use hydrogen peroxide
Self Treatment For Earwax
-American Academy of Otolaryngology
Most cases of earwax blockage respond to home treatments used to soften wax if there is no hole in the eardrum. Patients can try placing a few drops of mineral oil, baby oil, glycerin, or commercial ear wax removal drops, such as Debrox®, Mack's® Wax AwayTM, Murine®, or Physicians' ChoiceTM in the ear. These remedies are not as strong as the prescription wax softeners but are effective for many patients. Rarely, people have allergic reactions to commercial preparations. Detergent drops such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide may also aid in the removal of wax. Patients should know that rinsing the ear canal with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) results in oxygen bubbling off and water being left behind-wet, warm ear canals make good incubators for growth of bacteria. Flushing the ear canal with rubbing alcohol displaces the water and dries the canal skin. If alcohol causes severe pain, it suggests the presence of an eardrum perforation."

"God's voice prompted me to save Sara who was a near drowning in a small pool. I spent the longest minute of her life when I revived her. I believed the rescue was a gift from God. In regarding of the patio slide, I thought was locked, and Sara squeezed out through a door when our other children came inside.. that event will never be forgotten.
