How to clean ears?

2020-07-05 09:25:59
Can a small cap full of hydrogen peroxide be poured in ears to clean the ears? I use it monthly once and don't have any problems so far. Is it right to use it? Are there any drops that can be used to clean ears safely or a visit to ENT mandatory? I don't want to visit a clinic due to Corona.

Using concentrated hydrogen peroxide can cause burning and inflammation. No drops are required unless there is blockage.
