One thing you can trust is to put vinegar in your ears for an earache (Otitis externa). Pharmeceutical Otic drops are, in fact, acetic acid. In that one, anyway, your grandma was right.

I think one of the reasons why I hardly ever got sick as a child unless it was one of the contagions going around like Measels 5 times, Mumps twice, Chicken pox 1 smallpox 3 large pox, yeah smallpox vaccinations only lessen the severity. any time it looked like I might be catching something Grandma made me take a dose of Caster oil. Let me tell you no matter how sick you felt as soon as you saw that 5-gallon tablespoon coming at you with that vile stuff in it you suddenly felt right as rain fit as a fiddle ready to run with the wind if you could escape her claw like grip that is to avoid that stuff.
