POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. Using camphor mixed with oil as an external application for a cold in a 6-month-old baby should be done with caution. Camphor can be too strong and potentially harmful for infants if not diluted properly or used in excess, as their skin is very delicate and they can absorb substances more quickly. Inhaling strong camphor vapors can also irritate a baby’s sensitive airways.
If you choose to use it, only a very tiny amount of camphor should be mixed with a safe carrier oil like coconut oil and applied only on the chest or back—never near the nose, mouth, or broken skin. However, it’s usually safer to stick with more gentle remedies like warm mustard oil massages (without camphor), saline nasal drops, or using a humidifier in the room. Always check with your pediatrician before applying anything new to your baby’s skin.
