On my phone so cant see how old your little one is but my daughter has always had alot of wax, shes very concious of it and it bothers her. I sometimes clean around the outside for her so she doesnt get embarassed (friends point it out at school) but lately I have been candling her ears and it helps keep it at bay. I wouldnt recommend doing it without guidance/a professional doing it first (like a TCM practitioner). The GP I asked about it said we're all different and produce different amounts of wax so there's nothing wrong with it. But being 10 now she gets very conscious. When I whip out the candles everyone lines up for it lol even the younger ones. Its very relaxing and you hear a mild flame noise in your ear, its almost hypnotic!
