Hydrogen Peroxide Ear Safety

When it comes to the safety of using hydrogen peroxide in the ear
When hearing about medical affairs, people often ask whether it is safe to use hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) in the ear. Let's discuss it now.

Hydrogen peroxide has oxidizing properties. It is used in medicine and is often used for debridement and antivirus. However, when applied to the ear canal, it needs to be considered in detail.

The ear canal has a delicate structure, with the tympanic membrane separated inside and the ear cuticle connected to the outside, and there are various organs of the ossicles. If hydrogen peroxide is used improperly, its strong oxidation may damage the mucosa of the ear canal. The mucosa is the guard of the ear canal. If it is destroyed, it is easy to cause inflammation and breed, and it will develop swelling, pain and pus.

And the oxygen produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, or accumulated in the ear canal, causes pressure imbalance in the ear, tinnitus and tightness in light cases, and damage to the eardrum in severe cases, resulting in hearing loss.

However, for some ear diseases, such as cerumen embolism, it is appropriate to wash with dilute hydrogen peroxide, or it can help cerumen soften and discharge. However, this must be done under the guidance of a doctor, and the concentration and dosage should be determined according to the condition and ear canal condition.

In short, the use of hydrogen peroxide in the ear, whether it is safe or not, depends on whether it is used. Non-professionals should not do it. If there is an ear disease that needs to be treated, it is necessary to seek professional doctors to ensure the health of the ear.
