Is Vicks VapoInhaler okay to use orally?

Those sticks you were supposed to use for your nose. I had a friend who used it for a cough, inhaled it through his mouth.

Is that bad? Does it even work for coughs?

    It doesn't work for a long period of time though. After trying it couple of times I noticed that the symptoms have stop for temporary amount of time, but eventually the cold or cough get much far worse than that. I don't recommend using the product orally it's far too strong. I do believe there're alternatives than Vicks.

    It was popular in the 50-60s. People are it.

    But the bottle advise you not to.
