Safe Cough Relief for Children: Alternatives to Wright's Vaporizer

Wright's Vaporizer is no longer sold because it contained ingredients deemed harmful to children. Fortunately, other vaporizers offering similar relief are available at pharmacies and online.

DIY Steam Inhalation Method

If you prefer a homemade option, follow these steps:

1. Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil.
2. Remove from heat and add a few drops of child-safe essential oils such as eucalyptus, peppermint, or lavender.
3. Let the pot sit for a few minutes to diffuse the oils.
4. Place the pot in the child's room (out of reach) and allow them to inhale the vapors for 15–20 minutes.

Safety note: Always supervise the child during use and keep the hot pot well out of reach when not in use.
