Question 2

No problems: Generally it is considered safe....In fact Vicks makes a similar product for babies.  Don't forget to use a humidifier and nasal saline spray....They can both work well for congestion.  The main things to avoid are products with alcohol or decongestants like sudafed.

Question 5

I'd avoid it: Vicks is an aromatic rub that some find pleasing during respiratory illness.I find that the aroma causes increasing nasal congestion in infants and don't recommend it under the age of 3 years.

Question 6

is it safe to swallow vicks vapor rub?

Question 7

can i use vicks vapor rub for chapped lips?

Accepted Answer

No: Would suggest a lip balm, chapstick, ect.

Question 8

will vicks vapor rub increase my penis size?

Accepted Answer

No: But the irritation caused by the material may trigger transient swelling &amp; redness. That tissue readily absorbs some of the material in its superficial layer that can actually give you a chemical burn. I would avoid it. There are no such creams or ointments that will "grow" your penis. If you want more a urologist can do surgery and build a bigger one.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Please don't: It is not designed for the eyes.

Question 10

Wash your eyes: Wash your eyes with water for 15 minutes.
