A. I would not suggest you to use this product as well as many similar products for your child as these are hydrocarbons and may be harmful to your child so better to avoid using these types of products. all the very best

A. Hello, yes you can use baby Vicks vapo rub.. Rub Vicks Vaporub to bottom of your baby’s feet and chest at night, cover her feet with cotton socks. Your baby will get instant relief .Roast 2–3 big cloves of garlic & few pinches of Ajwain on tawa for just one minute. You will be able to smell powerful fumes. Let the mixture cool down and keep near your child. The smell of mixture will heal the cold & cough of your child.
