Ear wax needs to be removed under observation by ENT . Do not try to poke over it or do not pour any drops or liquid into the ear . If he is peeing in every half n hour it could be possible that he might be having urinary track infection . Hence get a urine routine test . Also feed the baby well so that his urinary flow is good .

Next Steps

watch for weight gain in the baby
