FAQs:
Q: Does putting Vicks on feet actually stop coughing?
Anecdotal evidence suggests it may help, possibly due to reflexology points or the soothing menthol vapors, but scientific proof is limited.
Q: Can I use this trick on children?
For kids over 2 years old, it’s generally considered safe in small amounts. Avoid applying near the face or nostrils.
Q: Will it help with foot odor or fungus?
Vicks contains ingredients like eucalyptus oil and thymol, which have mild antifungal properties, but it should not replace medical treatment for infections.
Q: How long should I do this routine?
You can do it nightly during flu season, or as needed for foot relief. Most people see softening of rough skin in a few days.
