What’s this in child’s ear? (Photo)

[2019Dancerz]

Hi, noticed this in 6 year old’s ear just now. Is this what wax looks like? To be honest it looks a bit like some popcorn (which we do have in the house) but ds claims no knowledge... Don’t want to embarrass myself at minor injuries if this is what wax looks like!
His other ear isn’t like this.
Thanks!;

Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Place marking.. hope your sorted soon OP

Ooo the suspense lol

Wow, the fly story...

Shameless placemark.

Hope it’s less than 3hours, but I’m curious to know what it is.

Eek hope he's ok!

Mostly just curious, but I hope he's ok.

Any news or video?

One of my kids put Blu-tak in his ear to drown the noise of his brother going on and on. It was in there for about 6 months before I took him to the Dr because his speech was getting so quiet. GP had a look & pulled it out. It had.....stuff stuck to it. voice returned to normal volume almost straight away.

Good luck, hope your little one is better soon.

Placemarking too XD I want to know!

Place marking, I hope they don’t have too much trouble getting it out

Hope your wait isn't too long. I'm on Team Popcorn.

I want to know what it is 😩

Looks most like popcorn to me too!

Hope he's ok soon.

Oh no, shouldn't have started reading this thread. Gonna have to wait till the morning now!

Hope the queue goes quickly OP.

Fly story is disgusting! Fingers crossed your wait isn't too long!

Hope no drunks arrive before you escape. Hope he is ok.

Laughing at all these stories. Especially the brother who put a ball bearing in his ear so he could read people's minds

Hope you're home soon

It does look like a bit of popcorn whatever it is!

I used to know a family and the girl rolled up some stickers and stuck them in her ear so her brother couldn't get them. Mum and dad had no idea until they took her to the doctors about a month later as they were concerned about her hearing

I'd go with popcorn.

My 18 month old DS had something that looked similar in his ear. Was light yellow/greenish and looked hard and cracked. I took him to the pharmacy for advice and they told me to take him to the GP. Even the GP couldn’t say what it was, but gave him antibiotics for an ear infection as his ear was so blocked she couldn’t see into it at all. I’m guessing from what MI said that they think it’s a foreign object rather than an infection?
Hope you’re not waiting too long, OP.

Hope you're not waiting too long. Been there with Lego up the nose, hope it's an easy removal.
