How Can Accidental Contact Of Vicks With The Eye Be Treated?
Question: I was rubbing Vicks and she got some in her eye. I tried my best to wash it out while she screamed loudly. Will she be alright?
Brief Answer:
Human eye has a protective mechanism in the form of tears and a chemical
Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to HCM,
Human eye has a protective mechanism in the form of tears and a chemical called Lysosome. This should take care of the problem.
If redness persists, instill drops containing antibiotic plus steroid 3 times a day for 3 days. It will be OK.
You can revert back. Regards
