Is it okay for your ears to clean the wax out with a q tip?!


Question:

Is it okay for your ears to clean the wax out with a q tip?

Someone told me it's not good for your ears because it pushes the wax back in, but someone else said that it is good for the ears because it cleans out the wax.


Answers:

They had this ? on Oprah the other day... Dr. Oz(sp?)'s advice was to just use some mineral oil in your ears, but NOT to use a Q-tip, since these just push the dirt, sweat, etc. deeper into the ear.
