matters needing attention

Here I would like to give you a warm reminder: some people have a big action when taking a bath, so it's easy to let their ears water. At this time, we should pay attention to it. Whenever you wet your ears, no matter whether there are signs of infection, you should remember to remove the water from your ears. Pull the ear up and out to straighten the ear canal. Let the hair dryer be 5-10 cm away from the ear and blow into the ear. Blow with warm or cold air for 30 seconds. In this way, the temperature and humidity environment for the growth of bacteria and mold can be eliminated.
