Vinegar medicine

One of my sons called last night complaining of an earache. Now, I haven't really had to deal with earaches because my boys never got them. I was so lucky.....
So he called last night and said he had some ear drops. I also suggested that he get a heating pad- no wait- that's the old days. I told him to get an iron and iron a towel- no wait- that's still old days.....
get a towel and put it in the microwave; put the drops in your ear and put the warm towel against your ear or lay on it for awhile.
I quickly called my friend Cheryl and asked her for a homeopathic remedy. She suggested olive oil. She also suggested some vinegar....
I call my son back and told him about these other two ideas. He lives above a restaurant so why not ask them for some vinegar???
Several minutes later, I called him back to see how he was doing. He said he didn't want to ask the restaurant so instead, he had some red wine vinegar. He also tried the olive oil but felt the red wine vinegar worked better. Thanks Cheryl!
