Call Poison Control: This sounds like homeopathic remedy, and thus is probably safe. Homeopathic remedies contain extremely dilute substances, so usually are nontoxic. That said, it's possible the drops could contain something harmful, particularly for the eye. Poison control is always an excellent resource. They are easy to reach and extraordinarily helpful. 1-800-222-1222. "when in doubt, check it out.".

Eardrops in eyes: First, you should flush the eyes with large amounts of water (not hot) to remove as much of the eardrops as possible. Belladona may cause the pupils to dilate & cause blurry vision & sensitivity to light. Pulsatilla, depending on how much is absorbed, can lower heart rate & bp; it may bring on vomiting/diarrhea/convulsions. Other ingredients: uncertain effects . Take child to eye doc for evaluatio.
