Answer to Question #88995 in General Chemistry for Janis Borstad

Question

To Whom it May Concern:
I suffer with excessive wax build up in my ears. On Monday I followed some advice to put Hydrogen Peroxide in my ear and let it bubble. It did that, but with no results.

My husband brought home a kit from NeilMed, Dr. Mehta's Earwax Removal Kit. In the kit there are drops that are supposed to soften the wax, its called Carbamide Peroxide.

Today is Wednesday, I put the Hydrogen Peroxide in my ear on Monday to no avail. I'm wondering if its safe to try the Carbamide Peroxide?


I'm just a grandmother. I have no idea if these two chemicals are compatible or not. Please advise.

Thank You!
Janis
