Vicks vaporrub will melt the mucus right out.

So when I was a kid, this was the magic medicine in our house. My mom would rub it on my chest before bed or I would take warm baths in the morning. Or rub very little on your nostrils. So the mucus can run out. Um, yeah, we didn't take anything but Vicks hahaha

To this day when I say anything hurts, my mom quickly shouts rub Vic on it. Hahahaha 🤷🏽‍♀️
