Liquid earwax

Liquid earwax, or ear discharge, is often a symptom of an infection, such as an ear infection. However, the cause of this discharge could be a violent shock. Among these shocks is head trauma, a medical emergency. In any case, you should seek immediate medical attention.

Dry earwax

Dry earwax can be a symptom of a dry ear canal caused by eczema, low earwax production, psoriasis, allergies, or even chickenpox. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the exact cause in order to treat the condition.

Please note that cotton swabs should only be used to clean the outside of the ear. Otherwise, they will push the wax into the ear, blocking it and causing a secondary infection.
