Help - just found my daughter munching on a tube of Bonjela. Can this be harmful.

Not sure how much she had, can this be harmful?? I feel dreadful. Anybody experienced this and have advice.
Thanks
Sarah

Well I'm loathe to list my experiences incase it scares you witless.

The DTs have ingested... sudocrem, various shampoos, soaps, etc and have swum in Toilet Duck.

She should be fine. She's probably had less than you think but if you're worried call NHS Direct.

I'd probably phone NHS Direct to be on the safe side. Bonjela does include a painkiller (salicylate - similar but not the same as aspirin). Now chances are the doses are pretty small, but I'd check with a medical practitioner tbh.

sarahandruby: how is she doing?

Hi Rubber duck,

She seems fine thanks. she also had a great sleep for the first time in ages, maybe it knocked her out. All bonjela now in the rubbish bin, think I will move to something natural like teething powder.
Thanks for your advice.
