What are Care Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops?

Care Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops are a gentle treatment for ears that are blocked by ear wax. They soften ear wax that is built up in your ear, making it easier to remove and unblocking your ears. Ideal for those suffering with blocked ears and looking for a simple solution.

Why are my ears blocked with earwax?

There are many reasons why earwax may build up in your ear canal and cause blocked ears. Some of the most common reasons for ear wax blockage are:

• Your ears produce a lot of wax – some people produce more ear wax than others.
• Your age – as you get older ear wax gets harder and becomes more difficult to remove naturally.
• Your ear canals are hairy.
• Your ear canals are narrow.
• You use hearing aids, ear plugs, or other devices in your ear – they may push ear wax further into the ear.

How will these ear drops clear my earwax?

Care Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops help to soften any hard or built up wax in your ears, making it easier to be removed by a doctor or nurse. This also helps ear wax to fall out naturally, clearing the blockage in your ear.

How to use Care Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops.

To begin, tilt your head sideways with the ear you wish to treat facing up. Place 3 or 4 drops of Care Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops into the ear using the dropper, taking care not to touch the ear with the dropper. Keep your head tilted for a few minutes to allow the drops to reach your eardrum, then use a tissue to clear away any drops that have run out of the ear. Repeat with other ear if necessary. For best results, use drops twice a day for up to 7 days.
