Oxygenated water in the ear does not hurt although it is not recommended to drip any type of product into the ear without medical advice. However, hydrogen peroxide in the ear does not cure the flu.
Some people use hydrogen peroxide to remove ear wax, but the medical recommendation is for the excess of wax to be removed only with the tip of the towel, at bath time. Ear washes should be done in the otorhinolaryngologist.
Already the use of hydrogen peroxide in the ear to cure the flu has absolutely no scientific basis. The hydrogen peroxide is used mainly to disinfect wounds and to facilitate the cicatrisation of the same ones.
The flu is caused by a virus, which is not located in the ear, but is scattered throughout the body. The hydrogen peroxide dripped into the ear remains in place and even if it penetrates the body, it would not have the ability to kill the virus that causes the flu.
In fact, there is not yet a medicine on the market capable of curing the flu. All the flu remedies only relieve the symptoms.
For further clarification on the use of hydrogen peroxide in the ear, consult an ENT doctor.
