“Ear drop issue?”
What should I do if I accidentally misread and used hydrogen peroxide and apple cider vinegar and put it in my ear for drops?

That should not be a problem as long as you do not have a hole in your eardrum.
See an ENT to clean that material out. The vinegar could allow mold to grow in your ear canal.Dont put anything in your ears,leave them alone and they will take care of themselves.
You can flush your ear with room temperature water.
This is ok! Hydrogen peroxide and apple cider vinegar are both natural and shouldn’t cause any harm to the ears. Of course, go see your doctor if you experience any issues.
