VICKS VapoEase Patch for Children (5 Patches)

The patches are suitable for children aged three and over. While they won't treat a cold or infection, they do provide symptomatic relief from colds or illnesses that cause congestion.

The patches are easy to use and are applied to the child's outer clothing. Just peel off the film and stick it firmly to the chest exterior before bed. Do not apply the patches directly onto your child's skin. The patches are for external use only.

The patches usually provide soothing relief for up to 8 hours. However, you can use up to three patches in 24 hours to ensure your child continues to inhale eucalyptus vapours.

Yes, these patches are suitable for use both during the day and at night. Applying them before your child goes to bed ensures they'll sleep through the night and won't experience severe congestion.

If your child has sensitive skin or an existing condition, please consult a doctor before using them. While the patches are applied to clothing instead of directly on the skin, they could still cause irritation if the child's skin comes into contact with them.

Yes, these patches can help alleviate symptoms associated with a cough or cold. However, if your child has excess phlegm or a high temperature, they might have a chest infection and will require antibiotics.

While interactions with other medications are rare, it's still a good idea to ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice if your child is currently using them.

No, VICKS VapoEase Patches are designed for single use only. Using them multiple times or leaving the patch on for too long will cause the vapours to fail to work correctly and will fail to provide relief for your child.

If an allergic reaction occurs, please remove the patch immediately and wash your child's skin with mild soap and water. If you need additional advice, you can also contact a healthcare professional.

The patches are suitable for children aged three and older but should not be used on children younger than three.

The patches have a natural fragrance due to the combination of essential oils, menthol, and eucalyptus.

This pack includes five patches, which ensure your child has congestion support for the duration of a mild cold. You can also find packs with more patches ideal for long-term congestion.

Yes, adults can also use VICKS VapoEase Patches. However, they might be best with stronger treatments that are more suited to severe congestion.

While many children with asthma can – and do – use Vicks Vapoease Patches, it's a good idea to consult your doctor beforehand. Severe asthma can react to the menthol and eucalyptus vapours, which might worsen your child's symptoms.
