Dr. Liu Chunqing
To clean the ears with hydrogen peroxide, first lie on your side with the affected ear facing upward. Then, instill hydrogen peroxide into the ear canal. Finally, thoroughly rinse out both the hydrogen peroxide and any earwax or secretions from the ear canal. If symptoms do not improve with this method, it is advisable to visit a reputable local otolaryngology (ENT) hospital for professional ear irrigation under a physician’s guidance. In daily life, maintain proper ear hygiene and cleanliness.
