Relieve Earaches

Hack: Help relieve the pain of an earache.

Use Vicks VapoRub to stop those painful earaches that happen every once in a while. What you need to do is put a small amount of the VapoRub on a cotton ball and put it in your ear for a few hours. And do that several times throughout the day, until the pain fades away. It will reduce the pain as well as prevent potential infection. And ear infections are not a fun thing to experience.

Ever thought about why your child may repeatedly pull on their ear that hurts? It’s because of an earache and the pain that comes with it is usually worse at night. It’s when your child is chewing, sucking a bottle, or lying down because that’s when the pressure is at its worst. In the worst-case scenario, chronic, frequent ear infections can cause permanent hearing loss.
