Is it ok steaming with boiled water & 5ml of vicks.

Yes!: This is a great way to help decongest when you have a cold. Keep your face a minimum of 15 inches away from the steam, and remember to close your eyes, as the steam plus Vicks can irritate them. Also be very careful of the boiled water as it can cause burns if spilled or splashed onto skin or face. You can do this 2-3 times a day for relief. Use decongestants or mucolytics to help drain the mucus.
