Will Hydrogen Peroxide Dry Out Ear

On whether hydrogen peroxide can dry the ear
The treatment of husband's ear disease, the use of hydrogen peroxide, there are many opinions. Now to understand its effect on drying the ear, we should investigate the rationale in detail.

Hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name hydrogen peroxide, is oxidizing. For medical use, it is often debridement and disinfection. When it encounters catalase in the tissue, it decomposes into water and oxygen. This reaction can help remove foreign bodies and bacteria in the ear, and the generation of bubbles may loosen earwax.

However, whether it can dry the ear requires dialectical observation. If the exudate in the ear is caused by inflammation, the cleaning of hydrogen peroxide may remove part of the liquid, and the decomposition product water, if there is no large accumulation, can be evaporated naturally by the ear canal, or can help dry to a certain extent. However, if the exudate in the ear originates from deep lesions such as the middle ear, and exudes more than enough, it may be difficult to achieve the purpose of drying with only hydrogen peroxide. If the lesion of the middle ear is not cured, the source of exudate is endless, and hydrogen peroxide can only clear the surface of the liquid, but not its essence.

Furthermore, if the use of hydrogen peroxide is improper, such as frequent or excessive application, or irritation of the mucosa of the ear canal, it will increase exudation, which is counterproductive and hinders the drying of the ear. And although hydrogen peroxide is decomposed with residual water and oxygen, if the environment of the ear canal is not good, the water is difficult to evaporate in time, and the ear cannot be dried.

To sum up, hydrogen peroxide is wet in some mild ears or can help dry. In case of complex ear diseases, it is difficult to rely on hydrogen peroxide alone. It is necessary to make a comprehensive diagnosis, find its root cause, and use other laws to achieve the purpose of drying the ear and curing the disease.
