Could putting peroxide in my ear cause problems if it went to far?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Peroxide in your ear turns, with a chemical reaction, into water. This can lead to sitting water producing an otitis exerna. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, it can cause an infection in the middle ear and pain.
