Brief Answer:
You ears are not connected to throat

Detailed Answer:
Hello

If your ear drum is intact , then there is no chance that the ear drops will trickle down into your throat, please dont worry.

You can safely us the ear drops , and this will dissolve the wax and clear out your ear.

The ear drops may cause slight irritation , otherwise they are perfectly safe to use.
