A member asked:
Can i use a small amount of peroxide in my child's ear if she has a tube in there she currently has an ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not advised: This would go into the tube and potentially harm her middle ear. Have your doctor give you a script for Ciprodex drops which would be much safer for an ear infection.
