Our ears reveal the true state of our health.
Liquid earwax
Earwax, or ear discharge, is often a symptom of an infection, such as an ear infection. However, this discharge can also be caused by a violent shock. These shocks include head trauma, a medical emergency. In any case, you should consult a doctor immediately.
Dry earwax can be a symptom of a dry ear canal caused by eczema, lack of earwax production, psoriasis, allergies, or even chickenpox. Therefore, it’s crucial to determine the exact cause in order to treat the condition.
It’s important to remember that cotton swabs should only be used to clean the outside of the ear. Otherwise, they will push earwax into the inside of the ear, causing blockage and leading to secondary infection.
