my son got ear infection and I'm using medicines recommended by my doctor, can I use Vicks baby rub as my son is getting cold symptoms

A. Yes sure Can be applied Mostly  cough cold episodes are viral in origin.  They may subside by 3 -9 days No need of any medication if mild.  If cough and cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 times a day for 3 days). And cough syrp or drops as per babys Cough condition  (wet or dry). Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold  episodes Proper hand washing, keeping away ur baby from other infected persons, exclusive breast feeding ur baby till 6months of the age, will help for fast recovery.   If decreased urine output, refusal to feed, decreased activity, breathing difficulty Then need to consult  with nearest pediatrician once.
