Description
Pain relief ear drops coat the outer ear canal with a protective film, helping to sooth irritation and swollen tissue resulting from burning, itching, swelling and pain. Pain relief ear drops reduce swelling in the ear and alleviate pain.
This unique formulation contains Glycerol and Lidocaine.
- Glycerol absorbs water from swollen tissue via osmosis and removes excess fluid from the ear canal reducing inflammation and swelling.
- The lidocaine then acts as an anesthetic surfactant to additionally alleviate pain.
