You can pour hydrogen peroxide into the ear when there is a foreign body in the ear or when there is an inflammatory disease in the ear, but it is not recommended to pour hydrogen peroxide into the ear during non-disease periods.
1. Foreign body in the ear generally refers to excessive accumulation of earwax in the ear canal or smaller objects and bugs entering into the ear canal. Pouring hydrogen peroxide into the ear has the effect of softening the earwax and helps the objects and bugs in the ear to flow out of the body with the hydrogen peroxide.
It is not recommended to use hydrogen peroxide if it is a bean-like foreign body to avoid swelling it and making it more difficult to remove.
2. Inflammatory diseases in the ear generally include otitis externa, otitis media and so on. First of all, hydrogen peroxide has a disinfectant effect, pouring hydrogen peroxide into the ear can play a role in inhibiting the propagation of pathogens. In addition, the rinsing of hydrogen peroxide also helps the inflammatory secretions in the ear canal to be discharged from the body.
You should not pour hydrogen peroxide into the ear during non-disease periods, as it is not therapeutic and may cause ear discomfort such as ear swelling and tinnitus.
