A member asked:

Is vicks baby rub safe for 3 month old who weighs 13 lbs 10 oz?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I never recommend it: Any pungent odor or fume, whether rubbed on or placed in a vaporizer can cause increasing congestion in an infant. I equate Vicks to cigarette smoke in young infants.It has little if any value at any age and never before age 3-6yrs. This is a throwback to the sweat lodges of the indians and should be abandoned along with leaches.
