Apple Cider Vinegar Alternative: Mix equal parts warm water and raw apple cider vinegar for a natural, mildly acidic solution that can help with bacterial growth and restore pH balance.
Coconut Oil Option: If you’re sensitive to olive oil, melted coconut oil can be a soothing substitute with antifungal properties.

Use caution. Children’s ears are more delicate, and it's best to consult a pediatrician before trying any home remedy on a child.

Stop using the solution immediately and seek medical advice. Pain can indicate an ear infection or other underlying issue.

No more than once a day for three days. Overuse may irritate the ear canal.
5. Can I use this if I have ear tubes or a perforated eardrum?
Absolutely not. Do not put any liquid in your ear if you have a perforated eardrum or ear tubes without explicit guidance from a doctor.
