is it okay to use hydrogen peroxide to clean ear wax if i have a perforated eardrum?
be very careful. hydrogen peroxide can damage you ears and cause serious trouble. see more...
hi wl
<br/>
<br/>all you can do is make the ear cleaning a positive experience. initially touch the ear without trying to medicate the ear and at the same time give a positive reward such as a treat...this is going to take a period of time before you can eventually put the medication in.
<br/>
<br/>the other thing that you should note is that the ears are probably painful and it might be advisable for the clinician to give you some pain relief...this will cost extra. in addition it might be a good idea to put on prednisolone / antihistamine to reduce the inflammation
<br/>
<br/>generally the most important thing is to constantly check the ears to see if they are dirty before the development of clinical signs. ear problems can be associated with skin allergies such as food anditmight be a good idea to put your dog on a novel protein diet for 10 weeks to see if there is an improvement.
<br/>eventually you should clean the ears on a regular basis with a good quality ear cleaner - i use epiotic/otoclean..it appears to give the best results.

<br/>i hope this is helpfull don't use an electric buffer when waxing. if you do have swirl marks, this is the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smcgyyjay7u this may sound strange, but i have heard that it works, especially if you're still fairly young. tape your ears to your head at night. try not to use a tape that may cause irritation on your skin if you have sensitive skin. tape them every moment that you're not in public (when you're home). Hello Aftonilman,



  

Thank you for the question.











Abnormal discharge from the ear, accompanied by ears such as stuffiness, dizziness, and pain are indeed typical of inflamed ears. Inflammation of the ear can occur only in the external ear (otitis externa), or it can also extend to the middle ear (otitis media). Depending on the location and severity of the inflammation, this condition can be treated differently, there is enough to be given medication, extracted earwax, or in more severe cases, surgery can also be done (for example if inflammation causes the eardrum to tear or the mastoid bone becomes infected) .



  

If your condition has previously been checked by a doctor, given medicine, but it does not improve, we recommend that you check yourself again to the doctor or ENT doctor. If the ENT doctor is on leave, the general practitioner is actually competent in handling ear problems as you experience them. Not only that, so that complaints get better faster, you also need to do the following steps:







Do not put anything in the ear, including water, cotton bud, wire  

Rest and drink more water  

Stay away from substances that might make you allergic  

Don't swim, dive or go to the highlands yet



Hope this helps ... i have my nose pierced. and i love it

go for it :) well, to tell you the truth if she made me jealous that'd be between us. go on, what did she do? didn't i just get done telling you it's between us? clean the damn wax out of your ears! oxygen in you can use these so long as you don&#39;t spray them close to you where they may be inhaled. <br><br>best wishes Actually, it could be either hydrogen or methane. Both have been used but both are HIGHLY flammable, and methane even MORE dangerous than hydrogen is.   

  

I quote from the article cited below:   

  

With Helium being expensive and now subject to shortage, many people are looking for more available and inexpensive alternatives.   

  

But it surprises me that party balloons sold anywhere in the USA are even ALLOWED to be filled with ANYTHING BUT Helium! Regardless of being more expensive and there being a shortage, if I were a RETAILER, I would not want the chance of a LAWSUIT from the damages, medical or otherwise, which can be so READILY caused by using hydrogen or methane.   

  

Do you remember the old TV show from the 1970's, "Love Boat?" The actor who played, "Gopher," Fred Grandy, had his hands horribly burned by balloons that were filled with hydrogen, and were popped and exploded. I quote from second article below:   

  

But in 1982, a scary accident occurred in a Turkish taxi: A cigarette ignited some balloons that were inexplicably filled with hydrogen, injuring Tewes, Grandy, and several others; Grandy suffered severe burns on his hands and face.   

  

So, there you have it. If I were you, I would try to find out WHERE he got that balloon, and then AVOID getting any future "supplies" from them AT ALL!!! You don't want to mess with that dangerous stuff!   

  

  

Me… kittyslave23… I know my place. Good morning, thanks for asking at HealthReplies.com. Tracheostomy is one of the health procedures performed to overcome problems in the respiratory system. This procedure is done by forming a hole as another way for air to get in and out because the normal respiratory path does not allow for the process of breathing normally.



  

After the extraction, it is normal for the hole formed by this procedure to close by itself and no sewing is carried out because it can actually lead to other complications. As long as it has not closed naturally, the hole will be minimally covered by gauze to ensure no impurities will enter.



  

As for your case, with a fairly long time span, our advice should you go back to the doctor who used to handle you to see firsthand the condition, what if the cause of your recovery is hampered. It should be seen if you have diabetes or other medical conditions that must be treated first so that the hole can close. If in the end it cannot close, other treatments will be considered more permanent in your case. If for one reason or another you cannot see the same doctor, at least look for another surgeon in the same hospital, or at least a fellow surgeon. In essence, the conditions that you experience will be treated differently depending on your current situation, and it really requires a direct examination by a competent doctor. So, hopefully answering your question.
