Does Persistent Usage Of Peroxide Result In Severe Ear Ache?

Hi, I ve been having some ear pain lately. The colder it gets the more it seems to bother me. I usually have a lot of wax build up in the first place and clean my ears with peroxide often. In the last week, when I put peroxide in my ears it hurts so bad that it makes me eyes start to water and I can barely stand the pain. Any explaination on why it hurts so bad?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ear pain after putting Peroxide in it. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case its seems to me that peroxide injure the ear drum or lining of the ear as its is very delicate . I would suggest you to consult your ENT specialist, and to assess the patency of the tympanic membrane. and to get treated accordingly. Doctor may prescribe vitamin supplement like vitamin C or vitamin A for recovery of membrane . For now apply dry warm compresses on external ear .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
