It sounds like you’re describing a reaction to hydrogen peroxide in the ears. I don’t see the picture, but I can explain what often happens and what you should do.
⚠️ Common Reactions to 3% Hydrogen Peroxide in Ears
- Bubbling or fizzing – This is normal; it’s the peroxide breaking down and releasing oxygen.
- Itching or mild irritation – Usually temporary.
- Redness or soreness – Can indicate mild irritation of the ear canal.
- Pain, swelling, or discharge – Could be a sign of ear infection or damage.
🩺 Safety Tips
- Do not use it daily unless prescribed by a doctor. Usually 1–2 times per week is safer.
- Avoid if you have ear tubes, perforated eardrum, or recent ear surgery.
- Never exceed a few drops—too much can irritate the ear canal or eardrum.
- If you see severe pain, bleeding, or persistent discharge, see a healthcare professional immediately.
💡 Better Alternatives for Earwax Removal
- Over-the-counter ear drops (carbamide peroxide-based)
- Gentle ear irrigation with warm water
- Professional cleaning by a doctor or audiologist
If you want, I can explain exactly why your ears might look red or irritated after 3 days and what to do at home to soothe them safely. Do you want me to do that?
