06Benefits
In Softening of earwax
Earwax is a glandular secretion that helps moisturize and protect the ears. It also helps remove dirt and dead skin cells in the ear. Accumulation of wax in the ear is usually asymptomatic but can occasionally cause bothersome symptoms, such as hearing loss and/or ear discomfort. Wax-Off Kid Ear Drop acts as a lubricant and helps to soften or break the earwax plugs, making it easier for it to move out of the canal.
07Side Effects
Wax-Off Kid Ear Drop does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine. Consult your child’s doctor if these side effects persist or bother your child. The most common side effects include-
Irritation of ear

09Drug Tips
Understand that earwax is normal. If it does not cause bothersome symptoms, it should not be tampered with.
Do not use cotton swabs or buds to clean your child’s ear as it pushes the earwax deep inside and makes the wax difficult to extract.
Abstain your child from rolling fingers and scratching their ear canal soon after putting the medicine to avoid the medicine from draining out and risk of infection.
Ask your child to keep lying down for at least 2-3 minutes after putting Wax-Off Kid Ear Drop. Doing so allows the medicine to soak into the ear wax.
Replace the medicine cap immediately after use.
Inform the child’s doctor about anything abnormal such as blood, oozing, pain, or change in hearing.
