How Will Vicks Vaporub Affect Tonsillectomy?

Hi! I am on Day 10 of my tonsillectomy recovery, and things are still quite painful. I have aquired a terrible ear infection, but obviously the worst part is still my throat. As Vicks Vabo Rub was always useful for my sore throats and throat pains before, I am curious as to how it will affect me considering my recent tonsillectomy. Would it be beneficial in any way? Or would it just reopen the wounds and make it worse? Thanks so much!
