Question
How to deal with a child accidentally ingesting wind-relieving oil?
Answer
Wind-relieving oil primarily contains menthol, methyl salicylate, camphor, eucalyptus oil, and eugenol, and is generally used externally. If a three-year-old child accidentally ingests a small amount of wind-relieving oil, it usually does not have severe consequences. However, it is recommended to closely monitor the child’s condition while drinking plenty of warm water and to seek medical assistance if necessary. Since wind-relieving oil is not recommended for children under three years old, it is advisable to consult a doctor before use.
