ear wax!

[Laura280315]

Hi all, I am looking for any tips regarding ear wax.


Back ground

I have noticed over the past few months my 12 mo ds holds his ears a lot and shakes his head, I have spoken to health visitor and doctor and am waiting for audiology referral to come though.

Anyway the past day or so I've noticed a build up of wax, I always rinse and soap etc out of his ears in the bath and dry the outer ear and behind and he was folds behind them with cotton wool buds ( not inner ear and told to do this by doctor due to the fold behind his ears so they don't get sore)

Is there anything I an do to help ease the wax build up until the referral arrives?
