Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi Carol, Vicks vaporub shouldn't be used in the nose (a mucous membrane). It is okay to put under your nose or there is a Vicks Vaporub inhaler that can go in the nose.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 This applies to everyone. The camphor in it can be poisonous, so it should only be used externally. http://www.vicks.com/products/vapor_rubointment.shtml Sheila 46 mos SCD, 20 yrs UC mom of SCD 31 mos ----- > > Hi Carol, > > Vicks vaporub shouldn't be used in the nose (a mucous membrane).
