menthol rub
Cooling decongestant ointment
Menthol rub is a topical ointment containing menthol and other aromatic compounds, applied to the chest or throat to relieve congestion from colds: My mother always slathered menthol rub on my chest when I was sick.
The cooling sensation and strong vapors create a feeling of cleared airways.
Vicks VapoRub is the best-known brand.
