Can Debrox Ear Drops Taken Over 4 Days Cause Harm To Ear?

Why do the directions for using debrox ear drops indicate using for only 4 days? Is it to avoid missing a more serious condition than wax build up? Or can using the drops for more than 4 days actually harm your ear? Thank you,

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
I have gone through your history,As you are using debrox to remove the wax from your ears on your doctors advise.
Used twice daily for up to four days.
Any wax remaining after treatment may be removed by gently flushing the ear with warm water using a soft cotton materials.
Thats why your doctor would have advised to put for four days.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
Thank you.
