Does a Vicks Cool Mist vaporizer do more harm than good?

Answer by  ace95 (256)

I think it does good. You feel dried out because the Vicks dries up the congestion. This helps you to sleep without your cough interrupting you. It doesn't make your cough unproductive but it calms it at least for the night and helps you to breathe easier without the pain of the cough.

Depends on why you started using it to begin with. We used to have to use one from time to time. Try using just water one night.

Vicks Cool Mist vaporizer can be useful for relieving congestion for short periods, but should not be used for long periods.
