Sweta,my doc told me ,ear bud is used only to clean the grooves of the ears front n back,this should never be inserted into the ears as it pushes the dirt further inside especially in kids as they have smaller ear holes and the parts inside the ear is closer,s he said having wax is good as long as it's not irritating the child and not in excess.
