You probably won’t believe it, but most of us use this baby cream that apparently helps clear the nose and effectively fights colds. It’s a cream, Vapo Rub, from “Wick”.
A woman from Mexico told everyone about the tragedy she went through, an incident that had an unfortunate end: her two-year-old son died. Here’s how it all happened!
She returned from work and went to see his son. She bent down to kiss him but felt that the little one had a fever. The woman thought it was just a common cold and decided to treat it by conventional methods.
First, she took the “Wick” ointment and began rubbing the baby’s chest, back, and nose to make it easier to breathe.
That day, she was very tired and fell asleep next to her little boy. A few hours later, when she woke up, the woman noticed that her son was not breathing.
She hurried to the hospital. But unfortunately, it was too late. Her child had died.
According to the medical report, the child died due to inflammation of the airways, caused by the camphor in the composition of the ointment.
In fact, this ointment can be beneficial in adults, and in children under 2 years it can increase the secretion of mucus by 60%, and it accumulates in the trachea and prevents breathing.
In fact, there is a warning on the label: contraindicated for children under 3 years! But, unfortunately, in the case of this mother who wanted to help her child at all costs, the warning went unnoticed.
So, remember that before taking any medicine to your children it is important to consult a specialist! Attention, at stake, is the life of those you love!
