It helps when theyre congested. I use it on my los feet. I just make sure i put some thin socks on over it. My mom thought i was crazy when she seen me do it.
Ive never done this but heard of it. My 3yr old has a really bad cough and stuffy nose. I have been putting baby vix on his chest, but doesnt seem to help any.
So how does it work? Is it just because of the vapors or does it actually soak into the body & do something? I've never heard of that, but I'm gonna try it next time someone is sick.
I didn't think vick's was supposed to be used on kids under 2...on their bodies or in their humidifier...(something about their nasal and respiratory passages being too small and delicate that it can actually do more harm than good). Plus, menthol isn't a decongestant (it is cooling so it tricks you into thinking you're breathing better...when your nasal passages are just being soothed by the cooling effect).
