Can Karvol Cause Puffiness If It Gets Into The Eyes And If Yes Then What Could Be Done?
I put some Karvol on my daughter's pillow last night as she has a cold. She woke up with very puffy eyes. Do I need to be worried that Karvol got into her eyes and if so what do I need to do. I washed her pillow and her bedding and rinsed out her eyes. She took a 3 hour nap this afternoon and she is sleeping now as per usual (as her night-time routine goes)

Hello,
I suspect it to be due to irritation by some of it constituents such as Levomenthol with chlorobutanol, pine oils, terpineol and thymol.
Please rinse her eyes with water.
If the swelling or puffiness persists even after, then take antihistamines like cetrizine.
If problem does not subside, then consult your primary care physician.
Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing her good health.
