Effectiveness
How Hydrocortisone And Acetic Acid Affects PatientsHydrocortisone works by attaching to special receptors in the body, blocking chemicals that cause inflammation. This drug is usually considered safe and can be taken for a moderate length of time. However, people should stop taking it if they experience any irritation or allergic reactions.
How Hydrocortisone And Acetic Acid works in the bodyCorticosteroids reduce inflammation by decreasing the widening of blood vessels, slowing down the movement of white blood cells, and altering gene expression. Lower doses of corticosteroids stop inflammation, while higher doses reduce the body's immune response. When taken at high doses over a long period of time, corticosteroids can also raise sodium levels and lower potassium levels.

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.What does acetic acid do for ears?
"The text explains that acetic acid is effective in treating an outer ear infection by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungus. This, in turn, reduces the pain and swelling associated with the infection. Wetness in the ear canal provides an environment conducive to the growth of bacteria and fungus, so treating the infection is necessary to alleviate these symptoms."
