What are Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops?
Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops are used to treat excessive earwax. Everyone needs some amount of earwax, but if too much builds up in your ears, it can harden and dry out. This causes discomfort and can get in the way of your everyday activities.
Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops usually contain 5% of the active ingredient (sodium bicarbonate). This is effective for treating waxy ears. It softens the wax, clearing out your ear canals and easing your symptoms.
How do Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops work?
Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops work by softening the ear wax, which reduces symptoms like ear pain and hearing problems. By softening and breaking up the wax, it can also escape your ear canals more easily.
If you have mild or moderate dry ear wax, you usually don’t need to get it removed with a procedure. The drops should take care of it by themselves. Even if you have more severe wax build-up, sodium bicarbonate drops can make removing it easier and help your symptoms in the meantime.
What doses of Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops are there?
Most Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops contain 5% sodium bicarbonate (the active ingredient in the drops that help to relieve symptoms). When using sodium bicarbonate drops, you usually use the drops 3-4 times a day, until your symptoms start to improve. Your clinician can tell you exactly how often to use it based on your symptoms.
