Vicks BabyRub is specially formulated for babies. however, it's recommended to use it only for children who are older than 3 months. For a 5.5-month-old, it can be used sparingly on the chest and back to provide comfort. Always monitor for any skin reactions.
Next Steps
For persistent symptoms or any concerns, booking a teleconsultation for personalized advice is a good step.
