Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 Baking Soda Solution Dissolves Ear Wax Excessive ear wax in the exter nal canal of the ear can be a prob lem for persons with overactive ceruminous glands. Water can be trapped behind the wax, resulting in infection. Wax removal should not be attempted with a cotton swab or other device that might push the wax further into the ear or cause damage to the ear drum. Safer methods of wax removal include removal in a doctor’s of fice with a wire loop or other de vice or use of a solution placed in the ear to dissolve the wax. Wax softening or dissolving prepara tions on the market include carba mide peroxide (D ebrox) and triethanolamine (Cerumenex). According to research con ducted at the University of Toronto and reported in The Journal o f Otolaryngology, baking soda and water may dissolve ear wax better than some of the commercial over- the-counter medicines. In addi tion, a 5% to 10% baking soda solution seems to work faster than hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The solution can be made by placing one-half teaspoonful of baking soda in two ounces of wa ter. A few drops of baking soda solution in the ear twice a day for up to a week is recommended. Ac cording to a recent issue of Pharmacist’s Letter, baking soda should not be used in persons with a perforated ear drum or in those who are prone to ear infections.
