Vicks vapour rub for runny nose

[Kylie Chamberlain]

I was told to use vicks vapour rub (you know the stuff your mums rubs on your chest when you've got a cold) on my horse's runny nose, however i'm quite wary as vicks is very strongly scented.
Has anybody here used it?
OR
Does anybody know of an alternative?

I used to use it and it was ok.......but never put it right UP the horses nasal passage!

Just a little around the outside of the muzzle

Vick relieves congestion & will make a runny nose run harder! I did use it years ago with no ill effect.
