My mom has yellow fluid behind her left eardrum. We thought it was wax this entire time & been using debrox but the ear nurse looked in & said hardly no wax at all its yellow fluid behind her eardrum & recommended Claritin to dry it up. Just regular Claritin. Thanks

That sounds like a frustrating situation, especially after thinking it was wax all along! Unfortunately, this isn't something that falls within the scope of COPD-related topics, so it's not possible to give helpful guidance here on ear fluid or Claritin use for that purpose.

The best step would be to check directly with Show Full Answer

The best step would be to check directly with your mom's doctor or pharmacist, especially given her COPD and oxygen use, to make sure Claritin is safe alongside her current medications.
