Hydrogen Peroxide Ear Drops
WHAT IS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND HOW DOES IT CLEAN EARS?
Hydrogen peroxide works by mechanically assisting to soften and remove debris when instilled into the ear.
Hydrogen peroxide ear drops can be used as prevention medication 1-3 times per week to clear wax and to keep ears clear from debris.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN I PLACE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE EAR DROPS INTO MY EAR?
When you instill hydrogen peroxide into your ear you may feel a warm tingling sensation.
You may notice the solution bubbling out of the ear canal.
This solution is very safe in all ears, even when you have grommets or an ear drum perforation.
HOW DO I USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE EAR DROPS?
Tilt your head to the side and instill the drops into the ear as prescribed on the hydrogen peroxide medication label or on this information sheet.
The first time you use hydrogen peroxide drops in the ear, leave the drops in the ear for a few seconds only and then use a clean cotton ball or tissue spear to wipe the excess from around the opening of the ear canal.
Do not place cotton buds or other articles into the ear canal itself.
Stop using Hydrogen Peroxide Ear Drops if painful or uncomfortable, or if sensitivities occur.
Always consult an ENT Specialist
CAN ANTIBIOTIC EAR DROPS BE USED AFTER HYDROGEN PEROXIDE EAR DROPS?
Hydrogen peroxide can damage the ingredients in antibiotic ear drops. There needs to be a 30 minute delay between administering hydrogen peroxide ear drops and antibiotic drops.
