Re: Ear connection- thick mucus in ear

There is something called "glue ear" that people can get after a cold or infection. Mucus gets trapped in the eustacian tubes and causes problems.

DS had more of a problem with ear wax when he was about 6 months old. In fact, once when DS was at the doctor for a fever, the doctor couldn't see into his ears the wax was so bad and proceeded to use a wire-like tool to remove all the ear wax and then discovered DS had a nasty ear infection.

I pretty much leave DS's ears alone, unless I notice a chunk of ear wax is right near the entrance of his ear canal.
