My son has tubes in his ears. Should I use peroxide to clean them and if I do what's the side effects?

Absolutely Not! When a person has tubes in their ears, they should never even get water in their ears from bathing. To purposely put a liquid in is short of endangerment. Tubes go through the ear drum and open the middle ear to help dry it out. Peroxide would be able to get into the middle ear and could damage the bones responsible for hearing, causing permenent hearing loss--permenent deafness could be a possibility. If you child had tubes placed in their ears, it was explained to you to keep the ears DRY--it is a requirement, not a suggestion.

Especially since your child has tubes, you need to speak to his physician!

Do NOT put anything in your child's ears without contacting his doctor first. I am a nurse and I would say please ask MD questions like this. Hope things go well.
