Is this too much olbas oil? Help!

I'm having a nightmare with the kids at the moment. DD1 has been constantly ill with viral asthma & various sickness bugs (one of which she's down with at the moment) for the last few months.

Now DD2, who I always say has an incredible immune system is coughing quite severely in her room. I just filled a big glass bowl with some very hot water & some olbas oil to help relieve her symptoms. Normally DH has always sorted the bowl with olbas oil (because I'm incredibly clumsy and would most likely drop it on my way up the stairs) but he's away just now. I've put about 8 drops of olbas oil in the bowl with the water and put it in her room but it does smell pretty strong. Is that too much?

It'll be fine.

I should mention, she's 2 years old. Incase that's relevant.

Ok. Possibly a bit much for 2. 5+ it'd be fine. 2-4 drops would probably be better but it won't do any harm.
