Preparation: Take a small cotton ball and apply a small amount of Vicks VapoRub onto it.
Placement: Gently place the cotton ball at the opening of your ear. Do not push it into the ear canal; it should rest comfortably at the entrance.
Duration: It’s recommended to do this before bed to allow the soothing vapors to work overnight.
Removal: In the morning, remove the cotton ball and discard it.
Safety Precautions
Avoid Inserting the Cotton Ball: Do not push the cotton ball deep into the ear canal, as this can cause blockages or potential injury.
Monitor Symptoms: If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice. This remedy is not a substitute for professional medical treatment.
Consult a Doctor: Especially if you have a history of ear issues or other health concerns, discuss this remedy with a healthcare provider before trying it.
