Im typing this as I have vicks rub on me. So maybe I’m biased. But I don’t care this stuff is the bees knees. Opens you’re nostrils like a dream. Use it for colds, or even for migraines. A staple! Dec 18, 2020

A lifesaver for when you’re sick and can’t breathe. We have the adult and baby version of vick’s and they both allow for easy breathing during cold and flu season. Apr 04, 2019

Love it for myself, but have heard it is SO BAD for littles. Read articles and talk to DR before use. Heard it worked backwards for a baby and clogged her respiratory system more (hospital or death) Nov 21, 2018

Nothing is better than Vicks when you, SO, or LO is stuffy! Life hack: I also put it on my son's feet when he has painful growth spurts! No clue why but it relieves the pain in the bottom of his feet! Oct 20, 2017

The old wives' tale: Put a little vick on your child's feet, cover with socks and they coughing will decrease. Definitely worked for us, but make sure not to use on the little little guys! Dec 03, 2014
