Why People Try This
Relief for Ear Pain or Congestion: The menthol and camphor in VapoRub can create a cooling, soothing sensation, which some believe helps alleviate ear discomfort or pressure.
Easing Cold Symptoms: The strong vapors may help clear nasal passages and provide a calming effect, especially during a cold.
Potential Risks
Not a Substitute for Medical Treatment: Ear pain or discomfort might indicate an infection, blockage, or other medical issues that require professional evaluation.
Skin Sensitivity: The ingredients in VapoRub can irritate sensitive skin, especially inside the ear canal.
No Direct Effect on the Inner Ear: Since VapoRub cannot penetrate the eardrum, it won't address underlying causes of ear pain like infections or inflammation.
