How does sodium bicarbonate ear drops work ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Soften Ear Wax: Sodium bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) ear drops are used to soften dry or hardened earwax. Use three or four drops twice daily for 3-5 days. Each time you use the drops, allow the solution to remain in your ear for 5-10 minutes. If your symptoms have not improved after five days, make an appointment to see ENT doc.
