ENT Myth Buster: Can you safely scratch your ears with a tail comb or hairpin?
We know it feels like sweet relief, but don’t do it. ❌

Those sharp objects can damage the delicate lining of your ear canal, and worse, rupture your eardrum. Even cotton swabs pushed too far can do harm.

Your ears are self-cleaning, seriously! If you’re dealing with buildup, itching, or discomfort, it’s time to see a professional.

👂Let’s protect your hearing, not risk it with household tools.

“Don’t catch a cold!” 🧣 We’ve all heard it, but can being cold really make you sick?

Let’s clear it up: viruses cause colds, not the weather. But here’s the twist, being cold can lower your immune defenses, dry air helps viruses hang around longer, and snuggling up indoors brings you closer to germs.

So while the chill isn’t the culprit, it’s definitely part of the setup.

🧼 Wash those hands, rest well, and stay warm. That’s how you really fight off a cold!

Your child’s ears may be telling you something, even without pain. 👂🏽

Chronic Otitis Media with Effusion is when fluid builds up behind the eardrum without signs of infection. It’s more common than you think, and can affect hearing, speech, and learning.

If your child seems distracted, speaks loudly, or isn’t responding well, it could be more than “selective hearing.”

Let’s check their ears before it impacts their development. Book your visit with our paediatric team today, link in bio.
