What diseases are boric acid in your ears?
This agent has found wide application in external and sometimes with internal otitis due to powerful antiseptic action. In diseases of the middle ear, its use is considered impractical. Due to ease of use, many people who have experienced sudden pain in the ears, use boric acid as an "ambulance".After all, it is not always possible to get an appointment with an otolaryngologist immediately. We will consider in detail how boric acid is applied in the ears of pain. However, if after a few days there is no positive dynamics, it is necessary to choose the time for a visit to a specialist!
Treatment of the ear with boric acid
The beginning of each procedure is always the instillation into the ear canal of hydrogen peroxide. It must be heated to a warm state and poured a full pipette into the diseased ear. After the liquid ceases to hiss, tilt the head in such a way that the remaining liquid freely flow into the auricle. They should be removed with a sterile cotton swab. Thus, we remove sulfur and other contaminants that may be present in the ear canal.
Only after this, warm boric acid is used. To drip in her ears, you need 3 drops, several times a day. Fill the fluid into the ear canal, you can feel a slight burning sensation. After about five minutes, tilt your head so that the liquid flows out. Wipe a cotton swab with a cotton swab, after which it must be isolated from the cold air. To do this, a small ball of sterile cotton wool is suitable.
At night, you can put turunda in the ear canal, moistened with boric acid. To do this, make a small flagellum of cotton wool, moisten it in a warm solution and squeeze it lightly.
Gently insert the flagellum into the ear canal. Turunda should be placed in such a way that its edge remains in the auricle. When completing the procedure, do not forget to "warm" the ear with a cotton swab.
Always remember that no doctor recommends self-treatment. Especially when it comes to hearing. After all, complications can be triggered by improper treatment, and their consequences can not always be eliminated.
