- Warm Compress: Place a warm compress over the affected ear to relieve pain and pressure.
- Steam Inhalation: Inhale steam with eucalyptus oil to ease congestion and associated ear pressure.
- Over-the-Counter Medications: Use pain relievers or decongestants specifically designed for ear or sinus issues.
Important Notes
- Consult a Doctor: Persistent ear pain, hearing loss, or discharge may indicate an infection or other serious condition that needs medical attention.
- Avoid Deep Insertion: Never push anything deep into your ear canal, as it can cause damage.
While placing a cotton ball with VapoRub in your ear might provide temporary relief for some, it is not a medically recommended practice. Always prioritize safe and evidence-based methods to address ear discomfort. 🌿🩺
