"On the Relationship between Hydrogen Peroxide and Ear Infection"

In recent times, physicians have studied the relationship between hydrogen peroxide and ear infection. Hydrogen peroxide is quite common for daily cleaning and disinfection. However, if it is applied to the ear, can it cause infection?

It is said that hydrogen peroxide may be the cause of ear infection. The ear has a delicate structure and contains all kinds of delicate tissues. If hydrogen peroxide is used improperly, its strong oxidation may damage the ear mucosa. If the mucosa is injured, the bacteria are easily invaded, and the risk of ear infection increases greatly.

In the clinical cases studied, some patients gradually feel ear discomfort after clearing the ear with hydrogen peroxide, or have pain, redness and swelling, and even pus dripping, all of which are signs of ear infection. After careful investigation, the oxygen produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide may disturb the microecological balance of the ear. The original flora of the ear depend on each other, and if the balance is broken, the pathogenic bacteria will have the opportunity to multiply and cause infection.

Some commentators also say that with reasonable use, hydrogen peroxide can help clean the ear and prevent infection before it emerges. Of course, the correct method and appropriate amount must be followed. If the concentration is too high and the frequency is too dense, it can be harmful.

To sum up, the association between hydrogen peroxide and ear infections cannot be ignored. Doctors should inform patients in detail of the advisability and taboo of use, and patients should also use it cautiously. They must not do it carelessly, so as to avoid improper use of hydrogen peroxide, which may cause ear diseases and increase pain.
