In other news…..A Nigerian nurse sparked a conversation online after educating the public about the correct use of cotton buds and stressed that they were not designed for ear cleaning.
In a health consultation shared on social media, she warned that using cotton buds to remove ear wax can do more harm than good, as it can lead the wax deeper into the ear canal, causing clogging, infection and even damage to the eardrum.
According to her, cotton buds are best suited for other hygienic purposes, such as disinfecting wounds, cleaning noses, wiping away eye discharges, and applying ointment to small areas of the skin.
She stressed that ear wax (medically known as Cerumen) is a natural protective barrier for the ears and does not always need to be removed. In case of overaccumulation, she advises people to consult health care professionals rather than resorting to cotton.
Her message has since attracted the attention of social media platforms, and many Nigerians admit that they have grown up with cotton buds for ear cleaning, which is not aware of the risks.
