How to Use a Rubber Ear Syringe
A rubber ear syringe is commonly used to remove fluids from the ears. Fluid that is left in the ear can lead to a painful ear infection if left untreated. You can safely use a rubber ear syringe to suck the fluid from your ears due to swimming or other medications that may have built up inside of your ear.
- Apply ear medications to the ear canal by filling up the rubber ear syringe with the required amount of medication. This is a simple process; all you need to do is put the desired amount of medication in a small cup or container and then squeeze the top of the ear syringe. Insert the tip of the rubber ear syringe into the medication and then let go of the bulb of the syringe so that it can effectively suck the medication inside of the ear syringe.
- Insert the tip of the syringe gently into the ear canal, and then slowly squeeze the top of the syringe to insert the medications into your ear using a rubber ear syringe. Be sure that you squeeze slowly and carefully so that the medication goes in slowly and gently.
- Remove water and leftover medications that are in the ear canal with a rubber ear syringe as well. Built-up moisture on the inside of the ear can lead to a painful ear infection if not properly removed, and infection can set in. Simply insert the tip of the rubber ear syringe into the canal of your ear after depressing the top of the syringe to remove any air inside of it. When you release the syringe, it will gently suck up any water or other liquid that is inside of your ear.
- Clean and disinfect your rubber ear syringe in between uses so that the ear syringe does not have the chance to allow bacteria to grow which could give your an ear infection if inserted into your ear. Be sure to always disinfect the rubber ear syringe after each use.
