Is it safe to use eucalyptus oil in my vicks vaporizer while my 1 year old sleeps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I never would: Infants & toddlers have narrow nasal passages that are more sensitive to fumes,dust, and other air pollutants. It will often trigger drainage and internal swelling in the nose that increases work of breathing. The clean mist is fine, but I avoid such additives as oils or Vicks until school age.
