Can You Use Peroxide To Clean Your Ears
Camila Farah
If you have had surgery to put in ear tubes do not use peroxide to clean your ears.
While tubes may clear up recurrent ear infections they do so by putting a permanent hole through the air drum to allow air into your middle ear. Several safe methods of managing excess earwax are available. Make a saline solution by dissolving teaspoon of salt in a cup of boiled water. For example many wax removing eardrops or solutions are available.
These solutions often use hydrogen peroxide to soften the earwax. If that doesn t help use an alternate method to clean your ears. Peroxide cleanings would leak solution into your middle ear and might lead to complications or infection. For mild to moderate amounts of ear wax buildup you can clean your ears with hydrogen peroxide at home.
Consult your doctor to determine whether it is safe for you to use hydrogen peroxide to clean your ears.
