Can i use baby vicks on my one month old baby? she's congested and dr only gave her nasal spray which isn't working

I wouldn't: I consider Vicks just air pollution and especially avoid it in infants. This is a throwback to native american sweat lodge treatments using pine pitch as a fragrance.Grandma probably loves it and there are many lay practices that use it throughout childhood, but I don't until school age.A good nasal saline washout works wonders if done right.
