Hello
You need not clean ear wax routinely for anyone. Our body had its own mechanisms to clean it unless it becomes hard wax leading to hearing loss.
You can consult a pediatrician for the same if u feel your son's ears are blocked with wax or if he is complaining of ear ache
Next Steps
use Soliwax drops 2 drops TDS for a week
it will make the wax soft if it's hard
Health Tips
do not insert buds or any sharp object into childs ear
consult a qualified pediatrician or ENT surgeon

Hello
You don't need to clean the ear
Ear has its own mechanism to clean itself
Suppose if you put anything like Ear bud in ear your creating a infection in the ear ok
If at all if you think there is so much earlier wax you can get clear by ENT doctor
