How To Remove Excessive Wax From Ear?

I poured peroxide in my ear cause I thought there was a wax build up and then the liquid was stuck in my ear. I tried pouring alcohol in it cause that has worked in the past to get water out but i didn t work. It feels like there is more fluid than before and it really hurts now...

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have excessive wax in ear and you put hydrogen peroxide which can lead to soft tissue ulceration as well. I would suggest you to to stop cleaning wax for the time being and give some time for soreness to heal. Use antibiotic ear drops to prevent infection accumulating there. Visit ENT specialist if your child experiences further bleeding or pain. Get wax removed with microscopic instrument. Maintain basic hygiene. Do not stress.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
