Hello,
Yes, it is okay to clean the ears, but you should know that sometimes, when you push a lot of pressure in the ear with the cleaning solution, it can lead to low blood pressure and nausea or vertigo. For this reason, this process should be done carefully.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
