A member asked:
My ears have been clogged for a few weeks and wondering if hydrogen peroxide is safe to use to clean them out if i've had tubes put in as a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, please do not put hydrogen peroxide in your ears. If they feel clogged, but no other symptoms like pain in ears, or fevers, then try an oral antihistamine or decongestant to see if that helps. If not, see your primary care physician or ENT doctor.
