if you have had your ear syringed in the last 2 to 3 days – this could also make it painful to use the eardrops. Should these symptoms persist or worsen, or you experience any other side effects or burning, stop using drops and seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.In comparision to children, the common reason adults put objects into their ears is to try and clean their ears of wax and impacted wax. Putting anything hard or solid in your ear is an incorrect way of cleaning it out. Foreign objects such as, beads, stones, folded paper, toys, cotton buds, insects and seeds are all items that have been found in a persons ear at some point. This includes the normal and expected clumps and build up of wax and impacted wax.

A temporary mild bubbling sensation in the ear can occur (due to the release of oxygen as the drops break down the ear wax). A hard plug of wax can also be removed by your doctor or practice nurse, by flushing the ear with warm water (syringing). If there is a lot of wax or the wax is very hard, it may need to be softened first and Earex olive oil ear drops can also be used for this. Who shouldn't use Earex olive oil ear drops? The Care Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops uses Sodium Bicarbonate rather than olive oil to soften the wax. It comes in a small 10ml bottle and has a pipette at the top of the bottle for you to squeeze to collect the drops up and drop into the ear canal. It recommends dropping 3-4 drops into your ear canal and allow the solution to remain in your ear for 5-10 minutes. Aswell as sodium bicarbonate there is also the active ingredients of Glycerol (E422), Purified Water and Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol (Preservative). These ear drops can be used in the ears of anyone over the age of five. It is important to be careful with this product as there are other chemicals involved to only use for the recommended number of drops each time. Sodium Bicarbonate ear drops can on rare occasion cause dryness within your ear canal and if your ears do become irritated it is a good idea to consult your GP. Personally I feel the box is deceiving as bought thinking it was soley sodium bicarbonate and therefore a natural product when in fact it is not. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
