ENT Specialists Advise Caution on Ear Care and Colour Exposure After Holi

After Holi celebrations, many people attempt deep cleaning of their ears using cotton buds, oils, or home remedies, which ENT specialists warn can cause harm such as earwax blockage, irritation, and infections. Experts emphasize that earwax protects the ear canal and should not be removed aggressively. Additionally, exposure to Holi colours, especially chemical-laced powders and moisture, can irritate or damage the ears, increasing infection risks. Preventive care and cautious ear hygiene are advised to avoid complications.
