Where can you put vicks for congestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Where the aroma...: People who use the Vicks menthol rub usually put a little where the aroma of menthol can mix with the air breathed in through the nose (which would mean on the upper lip or upper chest), to lessen the sensation of congestion. In recent years, people have moved away from using menthol this way because the ingredients can be irritating or harmful to children.
