A member asked:
Good evening i have a 2 week old baby he has a little slime on his chest can i use vicks baby rub?

Slime ?/ I would not: I consider Vicks vapor rub to be air pollution around small infants that is more likely to aggravate congestion from the strong odor. I never use it in infants under 2.

Cool air mist: Use nasal saline, monitor his temperature and continue to feed as usual. Please see your Pediatrician. Please discontinue the Vicks
