What Is The Effect Of Consumption Of Vicks By Child?
Brief Answer:
no need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
There is no need to worry.
Your daughter is safe.
At the most you can expect some mild abdominal pain and vomiting.
It is better to give her Antacids like gelusil. I prescribe around 2.5 ml thrice daily for such babies in my clinic.
If she develops any of these symptoms you need to consult your doctor for examination.
There is no antidote available.
But as long as she is fine without any symptoms, don't worry.
Continue cold medicines which you are giving now.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
