Sodium bicarbonate drops are an alkaline (basic) solution used in the ears to help soften and loosen earwax, making removal easier. They are typically a dilute aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) formulated for otic use.
Primary uses
Earwax (cerumen) softening: The drops soften hardened or impacted earwax, aiding natural expulsion or facilitating manual removal by a clinician.
Pre-treatment before microsuction or irrigation: Applied for a few days before clinic earwax removal to reduce hardness and decrease discomfort during the procedure.
Secondary use for debris or minor dryness: In some cases they can help loosen crusty debris or relieve mild dryness, but they are not a treatment for active infections.
How they work
Sodium bicarbonate is alkaline, which helps break down and hydrate the wax structure, increasing its pliability and promoting disintegration.
The solution can also alter surface tension and assist in mechanical loosening when combined with gentle irrigation or microsuction.
Typical instructions and precautions
Use as directed by a healthcare professional or product instructions, usually a few drops into the affected ear once or twice daily for a short course (commonly 3–5 days).
Lie on your side with the affected ear up when instilling drops, allow them to sit for a few
