That sentence is dangerous as written and very likely misleading.
👉 You should never put random “drops” in your ear based on a headline or home remedy. For teens especially, this can cause irritation, infection, or damage, particularly if there’s a small tear in the eardrum.
Why this claim is a red flag đźš©
-
It doesn’t say what the drops are
-
It promises fast results with no diagnosis
-
Ear problems have many different causes (wax, infection, pressure, irritation)
What helps one condition can seriously worsen another.
What’s actually safe and true
-
Only use ear drops that are prescribed or clearly labeled for ear use
-
If ears feel blocked, itchy, or uncomfortable:
-
Don’t insert liquids, oils, or tools
-
Don’t copy “pantry” or internet remedies
-
-
A pharmacist or doctor should first confirm:
-
Wax buildup
-
Outer ear irritation
-
Infection (which needs specific treatment)
-
