Good, clear instruction. Thanks.
Most welcome - thanks for watching
I was doing this with the cheap “dollar” store stuff. It didn’t list any other ingredients, so I presumed it was safe. But, I’ve read that it is common for drug companies to add chemical stabilizers to increase the shelf-life. So, to be on the safe side, I switched to the food grade hydrogen peroxide. It is more expensive but we only use small amounts,, and shelf life is shorter,
Thanks Rob - whilst the pharmacy based peroxide is certainly safe for external use as directed, it’s good to know there is a ‘preservative-free’ version of Hydrogen Peroxide
i love that tingling sensation
Yes - most patients find it quite soothing, but rarely adults, and some children find it uncomfortable.
Can This Unclog The Ear?
Hi I have a fungal infection in my ear. And after medication it has not reduced. A doctor recommended to clean it with buds, can I dip them in hydrogen peroxide before cleaning it?
Hi there - thanks for watching and for your comment - In principle I would say yes, that sounds reasonable as long as you use the cotton buds just to wipe discharge from the opening of the ear, rather than pushing them inside the ear where they can cause damage or further impaction. Beyond that, this is something you'll need to talk to your local doctor about. We are unable to provide specific medical advice online. If you're in Australia, feel free to make an in-person or telehealth appointment with us 😊. Take care out there
Thank you. I'm from India. Will bring it up while consulting my doctor.
Doc is this ok for swimmers ear ?
Yes - can be very effective for discharging swimmers ear, but if discharge persists beyond a few days, would recommend an assessment with your local GP or ENT Specialist..
Why the drops couldn't enter in the ear canal?
It may be because your ear canal is swollen, but mostly it is just due to the natural shape and collapse of your ear canal... pulling the outer part of the ear gently backwards when placing the drops should open up the ear canal, and then a gentle repeated pressing movement on the little part of the ear in front of the ear canal should ‘pump’ the ear drops into the ear canal...
