Suggest Treatment For Chest Congestion In A Child
I have a 4 month old who has chest congestion, i do not have health insurance at this time. I have ran hot showers to create steam and then i put infant vicks vapor rub on his chest neck and back. my question is can i take him outside for a walk with the vapor rub on?

chest congestion is not taken lightly for a baby of that age and it could be early asthma; better you see a doctor rather than taking for ride or applying vicks.
