I just saw this in the newspaper a couple of days ago. You can put peroxide in your ear. Just be sure your eardrum does not have a hole. It said to pour it in and let set a second and it is very good at breaking up wax buildup.

The best way to clean out a seriously gunked up ear is to buy a bulb syringe at your local drugstore, fill it with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and warm water, and then squirt it in your ear over and over until stuff stops coming out.
Of course, don't jam the tip of the bulb syringe deep in your ear (which might perforate the eardrum), just get it up against the opening when you squeeze.

Yes but I think it can heal. You really should not use q tips in your ears. They also push earwax further into your ear and that can cause weird things like dizziness and feeling like pressure in your ear and stuff. If you are concerned about ear wax you should try to remove it, but you should probably go to a doctor or get some type of ear wax vacuum. Some ear,nose throat doctors have machines that suck the wax out. I got it done a few years ago.

Only if you stick it in your ear. Remember the purpose of a Q-tip is not to clean out the ear canal, but rather is meant to clean the outter rim of the ear. NOTHING should ever be place in the ear. Read your Q-tip Box!

No it won't but the q-tip might. Just pour the peroxide directly in your ear. And use spell check.

Not unless the Qtip is so saturated that you leave fluid in your ear. The qtip should be damp and should not enter the full ear canal which could damage the ear drum.

No. It's a good way to stop an ear infection and helps dissolve earwax. My guy's mum taught all the kids about this while growing up and it works well.

I clean my ears every 2 weeks with peroxide, it helps loosen wax and cleans out any germs.

The best way is to lay on your side and use a dropper, let in stay in there a few minutes.
