My daughter has a little cold and I guess her grandmother put Vick’s vapor rub into tea and had her drink it? She says she feels better but I’ve just never heard of this like it’s not safe to consume right? Should I take her in or just play it by ear and see how she’s feeling later? She said she drunk 3 cups of tea and she put two scoops in each cup.
Whoa!!!! I'd be furious with the grandmother, that is dangerous. I hope your dd is okay!
Did your daughter tell you this or her grandmother? It's surprising that your daughter would be able to stomach 3 cups of tea full of vicks without gaging or vomiting, so maybe she's confused. Hopefully she's is because this is a dangerous situation
My daughter came home today and told me she had tea with lemons peppermint and vicks so I’m like what?? I called her grandmother and she said she put less than a half of scoop in each cup but Maddie says it was two scoops in each. So definitely confused about the amount. This was two days ago. And I said the same about the taste but I’m thinking with the lemons, peppermint and sugar it probably cancelled out the taste?
@alicianoelle32 if it happened 2 days ago I would go with what posion control said. I'd imagine she would be showing symptoms by now if she was sick
I called them and they’re like if she’s not showing any of the symptoms she should be fine. We still are taking her in to be checked out though.
I would definitely take her in ASAP. It's not supposed to be ingested at all. Topical use only. Please take her in.
I would call your child pediatrician and talk to them i don't think your supposed to drink that
Disgusting. I think I would be ready to fight her grandmother.
