Itching in the ear may not be always because of wax. It may be secondary to fungal infection, allergic rhinitis (which can also cause sense if itching in the ear), chronic otitis externa etc. Direct examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. In any case dewax is safe for children
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
