EAR CARE- EARWAX

"You should never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear."
You should never put a cotton swab or other object into the ear canal.
But you can use a swab or cloth to clean the outer part of the ear.
Doctors think earwax might also help protect against infections.
And the waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry. 
So earwax is good. It even has a medical name: cerumen.
