This post is part of a sponsored collaboration with Vicks VapoRub. Since I already use this product as cough relief for my family, I’m happy to help promote the brand/product. As always, all opinions are honest and my own and are not influenced by compensation.
Our family just went through a bout of illness that caused a nasty cough and sore throat. Thankfully it wasn’t the awful Strep that has been going around, but the cough lingered for weeks. It hit my girls first, my husband second, and lastly me. I was able to get rid of the illness pretty quickly, but my husband and girls needed cough relief, which they got from Vicks VapoRub.
The sound of my kids and husband coughing all night isn’t my favorite, and mama needs her beauty rest. The instant I rubbed VapoRub on my girls, they told me they started feeling better, and ultimately ended up sleeping better.
VapoRub is safe for people two years of age and older, so I always keep a tub around in case my girls come down with a cough. It’s the #1 pediatrician recommended cough rub, and I love that it works fast and provides cough relief when used on the chest and throat.
How To Use Vicks VapoRub As Nighttime Cough Relief for Kids
Vicks VapoRub may be used up to three times daily as a cough suppressant for kids. You simply rub a thick layer on their chest and throat and the medicated vapors instantly begin working to provide cough relief. I like to immediately cover my girls’ chest with a blanket, to keep the VapoRub warm and ensure the vapors stay close to their nose.
Sleeping through the night is a top priority for me when my girls are sick, and I’ve used VapoRub for years to help relieve their coughs. And I love that it doesn’t interact with other medication the way other medicines can, so I feel safe using it on the entire family.
VapoRub’s Active Ingredients
VapoRub’s active ingredients are Camphor, Eucalyptus oil, and Menthol. These three medicated vapors act as a long-lasting cough suppressant, proving to be a great solution for nighttime cough relief for my daughters. If you’re a parent, you understand how miserable your day can be when you get little-to-no sleep at night.
VapoRub’s safe cough relief rub is reliable, and is a product I’ve been familiar with since I was a child. The scent is so soothing, and when combined with a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup, and a cup of hot tea, is my favorite (and nostalgic) cough relief remedy for myself, and now my girls.
