Vicks VapoRub is considered absolutely unsafe for children under 2.

So, I would highly recommend against using it in young children.
Mothers are always excellent that way to get the best out of everything. So when we talk about multi-functional things from our households, Vicks Vapor Rub is a surprising yet a staple name.
