The new ‘no mess’ Easy Breathe Vapour Rub Stick has the same gentle formulation as Snufflebabe so can be used from three months. It contains eucalyptus oil, menthol and thyme, which help make breathing easier. It’s also less greasy than regular petroleum jelly based products, which makes it easy to wash out of clothing or bedding.

If in any doubt about your child’s treatment or condition, ask your pharmacist or GP.
