A strong odor is the alarm signal
Unpleasant-smelling earwax is often a sign of infection or excessive buildup. This type of warning sign should not be ignored. Consult a doctor promptly to prevent the infection from worsening.
How to keep your ears healthy
To prevent imbalances or infections, adopt these simple practices:
Moderate cleaning: Avoid cotton swabs, which can push earwax deeper into the ear canal. Use a damp cloth to clean only the outer part of the ear.
Hydration: Proper hydration helps keep earwax healthy and protects your ears.
Hearing protection: Wear earplugs in noisy environments to prevent noise-related damage.
Balanced diet: Nutrients such as iron, zinc, and omega-3s are essential for good health, including ear health.
Consult a professional: If you experience persistent changes, a strong odor, or pain, consult a doctor immediately.
