Irritation in the ear - 3 year old

2021-09-23 16:11:46
My 3 year old son has been putting his finger in his ear since the last two days very often. I noticed a tiny amount of wax on the outer surface and cleaned it. But it seems there is more inside the canal. Is it okay to put ear drops or coconut oil in the night when the child sleeps? Or is it recommended to put it during the day only? Thanks in advance.
