VapoRub on a Cotton Ball in Ear: Does It Really Work? πŸŒΏπŸ‘‚


 

❌ Never insert cotton/VapoRub deep into the ear – Can cause:

  • Eardrum irritation

  • Wax impaction

  • Burns or allergic reactions (camphor can be harsh on sensitive skin).

✅ Safer Alternatives:

  • Steam inhalation (with VapoRub in hot water).

  • Warm compress on the outer ear.

  • Over-the-counter ear drops (for wax or pain).


Bottom Line: Should You Try It?

  • If using externally (near but not inside the ear), it might offer mild relief for congestion or outer ear discomfort.

  • For ear infections or severe pain, see a doctor—don’t rely on home remedies.

  • Never use for kids under 2 (camphor can be toxic if absorbed).

Better Option?

Try VapoRub on the chest or in a humidifier for safer congestion relief!
