Is it safe to spray metholated spirits in my ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mentholated spirits: It is not a good idea to say anything in your ear that has not been FDA approved for that purpose. If you are having otologic issues, you may benefit from a physical examination by a board certified otolaryngologist.
