How to Gently Irrigate Your Child's Ear
Hey there!

Nurse Mom to Five here. I have a video here on how to remove ear wax buildup in a gentle way.

Now I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you are trained or told to do this by your doctor as you don't want to cause any damage to your child's ear, but here I show you what we do in our home with gentle irrigation.

I have an otoscope and I do inspect in the ear canal to see what is there first. You can buy them on amazon or sometimes your local store may have them. 

I have a welch allyn pocketscope, but you can no longer buy these in most places. Here is one I found that may be useful as it connects to your phone as well!




Now getting familiar with what the ear drum is supposed to look like is super helpful, otherwise you don't even know what you're looking for. It can take a lot of practice and trial-error to know what you're looking at in the ear, so don't be overwhelmed!!! 

Anyways, here is the video for you to view!!!



Don't forget to subscribe to my channel for more!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Meet Kara Johnson

 
Hello there!

I'm Kara, mom to 6 almost 7 and we live in Wasilla, Alaska. I am also a wife and a Registered Nurse. I love helping mom's in postpartum because that was where I struggled a TON with our first baby and have learned so much over the years that I have to share it with you!

We moved our family of 7 from Minnesota to Alaska in 2019. We love everything Alaska- We live in a postcard every day! We enjoy doing all the Alaska things such as camping, fishing, hiking and expoloring. If you mention "blueberry picking"- I'll be there!!!

I also have a good mix of integrative therapies as well as the knowledge of modern medicine- which is helpful for you as well! I use many different healing remedies in our home from essential oils to homeopathy as well as modern medicine. So welcome to my site, and it's so good to have you!


XOXO,

Kara, The Mom Nurse
