Question

Is mineral oil good for an ear ache?

Answer 1

At some health food and vitamin stores they sell OTC ear ache drops. I am not sure if this is something you can look into or not.

Answer 2

it might help a bit but I suggest arnica cream  by Thompson's is what I use and it works for me!  Get the cooling version  the one that don't say heat acting!  It's in a red tube with some white on it!

Answer 3

mineral oil's not good for anything. its crude oil.  any other type of oil will help though. I find castor oil the best. olive too.

Answer 4

It won't help it in the slightest.

Answer 5

When I have an earache my mom gives me a couple drops of Mullein Garlic Ear Oil by Equinox Botanicals, try it! It always works, plus it's pry cheaper than that other stuff the other person was telling you about.
