How Long Hydrogen Peroxide Should Stay In Ear

On the treatment of ear diseases, the use of hydrogen peroxide is quite common. However, its retention in the ear for a long time is really related to the curative effect and health, and it should not be careless.

Or someone asks, how long should hydrogen peroxide remain in the ear? The length of the cover cannot be generalized, and it depends on the severity of the disease and individual differences.

If it is for the cleaning of ordinary earwax, take an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide and drop it into the ear canal, and stay for a while, about a few minutes. At this time, the oxygen produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can loosen the earwax and help it discharge. However, if it stays for too long, it may cause ear canal discomfort, because hydrogen peroxide is irritating to a certain extent.

If it is an adjuvant treatment for ear inflammation, it may take a little longer. Generally speaking, it can be left for five to ten minutes. During this period, hydrogen peroxide can exert its disinfection and sterilization effect, remove bacteria in the ear canal, and reduce inflammation. However, it should not be left for too long, so as not to damage the mucosa of the ear canal and cause other diseases.

Some individuals have different tolerances to hydrogen peroxide. Sensitive people may feel tingling and itching in the ear even if they are left for a short time. At this time, stop using it immediately, rinse the ear canal with water, and seek medical treatment if necessary. Therefore, when hydrogen peroxide persists in the ear for a long time, the doctor should carefully judge and provide reasonable guidance according to the patient's specific situation, so that hydrogen peroxide can be used in ear treatment to give full play to its advantages, avoid its disadvantages, and ensure the health of the patient's ear.
