Can Vicks Be Dangerous For A 2 Years Old Child?
Hi, my son is 2 and was able to reach the Vicks vapor rub somehow on top of his dresser. He started yelling about his eyes hurting but we are unable to determine whether or not he has ingested it. Are there any symptoms we should look for to determine this?

Hi....Vicks contains Camphor. Ingestion of camphor sometimes can cause seizures. I suggest you be on the look out for seizures, altered behavior and altered level of consciousness.
As for the eyes, please wash with clean cold water as frequently as possible till the burning sensationgets relieved.
