A member asked:
I been boiling vicks vapor rub on stove for my dry cough and keep my breathing good can it cause sinus infection? i do it twice a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Steam or vapor alone would be just as useful, Vicks is not adding any medicinal effect. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
