Can you clean your ears if you have otitis externa?

Otitis externa patients can have their ears cleaned, but the procedure should be performed at a正规 hospital using an appropriate ear irrigation device to avoid discomfort. During ear cleaning, the head must be tilted to one side, and the solution temperature should be properly adjusted. After drawing the cleansing solution into the irrigator, gently press against the posterior wall of the external auditory canal and slowly inject the solution, allowing sufficient time for infusion. After cleaning, the external ear canal must be carefully dried with a clean cotton swab to prevent infection.
