Vicks 

Vicks VapoRub can be used for the treatment of cough associated with the common cold. It also can temporarily relieve minor aches and pains associated with aching muscles. We haven't tested, nor has the FDA approved, Vicks VapoRub as a toenail fungus treatment. Therefore, we do not recommend it for treatment of toenail fungus.

VapoRub is an effective, external cold medicine. It provides temporary relief from coughing due to colds. When used as directed, its medicated vapors will help you rest more comfortably. As mentioned on the label, VapoRub should be applied only to the chest and throat to relieve cough due to cold symptoms, or to muscular areas and joints for aches and pains. Since VapoRub ointment is an oil-based medication, it shouldn't be used under or inside the nose or inside the mouth, or swallowed. Any oil-based product can get into the lungs if used improperly.
