Can you use a neti pot if you have an ear infection?!
Question: Can you use a neti pot if you have an ear infection?
I bought a neti pot and the directions says not to use it if you have an ear infection.
So, should I follow the doctor's advice or the directions for the neti pot?
Answers:
i wouldn't use it because neti pots are used soley for the purpose of cleansing your sinuses and to help eliminate dark under eye circles. and if u use it wrong the solution could get trapped in your ear canal , only making the problem worse. plus if it says not to use with an ear infection. i wouldnt use it. i hope i have helped!
Use a steamer, especially with eucalyptus and menthol oil added to the steam.
You don`t say whether it is an inner or outer ear infection. For outer ear infection, you can dribble garlic oil into the ear. My physician told me that, and it works as a natural antibiotic.
