Our 10 mo old has a nasty cold and is all congested. We've tried saline, suctioning, decongestant drops, and a vaporizer, all of which provide temporary relief but don't keep her sleeping at night. Someone suggested adding Vicks Vaposteam to the vaporizer to clear up her airways. I've never tried it before and am a little skeptical, number one because I'm not sure that stuff really works and number two because the package indicates checking with your doctor if the child is under two. I know that camphor is some nasty stuff if ingested, but I'm not sure if such a small amount could be dangerous when breathed in all night. I'm not having any luck searchign the 'net for the answer, so I thougth I'd ask if any of you have heard anything about the subject, either from your doc or pharmacist...Thanks!!
