Can i use vicks vapour rub for my child he is 3 and has got g6pd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't see any problem with using this product with his condition. I do suggest you monitor the effect it has on him specifically. I find Vicks & other aromatic materials sometimes trigger more congestion than relief. Adults seem to do better with such materials but some kids react differently.
