Vicks VapoRub has been used for decades to relieve cough and other common cold symptoms. As many of us can remember, our mothers and grandmothers used VapoRub when we were congested or had a cold.

There are many unusual ways to use VapoRub and it can be used for much more, than just for congestion.

Ear Pain Relief

Start by putting some VapoRub on a cotton ball. Then, place the cotton ball in your ear. After a few moments, you’ll feel a slight relief.
There’s another way you can relieve ear pain. Heat a clove of garlic in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Then, apply some VapoRub on the garlic and put it in your ear.
