Q: Can you put a dab directly into your nose?
A: Since VapoRub is an oil-based medication, it should never be used under or inside the nose, Jules. As mentioned on the label, Vicks VapoRub should be applied only to the chest and throat to temporarily relieve cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation associated with the common cold, and on muscles and joints to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains of muscles and joints. If you're experiencing dry or irritated skin around the nose, we recommend our Vicks Sinex Nasal Balm which provides moisture to help heal and soothe.

Q: Under the drug facts section, *synthetic* camphor is listed, but nothing indicating eucalyptus soil, even though the description states that eucalyptus oil is an ingredient. I am confused, how come it is not listed if it's in here? 
A: We're so glad you found eucalyptus oil towards the bottom of the list!
