Mum's horror as baby nearly dies after tiny amount of common cold treatment
Carly Lloyd was left horrified after her 11-month-old daughter Poppy "barely touched the inside" of Vicks VapoRub before she went "rigid like a plank" as her head "swung from side to side" An 11-month-old baby's eyes "rolled back into her head" during a "violent seizure" after accidentally swallowing the tiniest amount of a "toxic" common cold treatment. Mum Carly Lloyd, 38, from Sidcup, was left horrified after her daughter Poppy "barely touched the inside" of Vicks VapoRub, prompting her to "go rigid like a plank" as her head "swung from side to side." The terrifying incident occurred on May 3 when Poppy grabbed the ointment while her mum changed her nappy. Carly quickly noticed her daughter had ingested the smallest amount of Vicks VapoRub and rushed to remove the ointment from her. She immediately wiped her mouth. Carly told The Mirror: "We took hold of her arm, then wiped inside her mouth using a cloth to remove as much as possible and cleaned her hand. We luckily Googled and saw warnings from others on the internet to call 999 immediately." However, within 15 minutes, Poppy started to vomit, prompting Carly to call 111. She was assured that, as she consumed only a tiny amount and no other symptoms were showing, she wouldn't need urgent treatment. Two hours later, Poppy's condition worsened after she was "nodding violently" and "swinging her head from side to side." Carly, who quickly called for an ambulance, was told by paramedics she did "the right thing" by giving her daughter milk, which would have "lined her stomach, throat, and mouth." The youngster "could have died" if they hadn't seen her ingest the ointment and quickly reacted, according to the paramedics. "If we hadn't seen her grab the Vicks, she would have died. The ambulance lady came straight in and told us 'this could kill her'", Carly revealed. She added: "We really thought it was attacking her brain. It was as though it was causing some brain damage that was getting worse and worse. She was initially doing the violent nods, then her arm went as though she had had a stroke and, her head kept shooting to the side. Soon she was going completely rigged and eyes rolling." Carly admitted she "had no idea" how toxic the ointment was and has promised never to have it in her home following the traumatic ordeal. Vicks VapoRub can be bought over the counter and treats a wide range of common issues, including sore throats, coughs, nasal catarrh, muscle aches, and pains. The packaging states that it can be toxic for children if swallowed in small doses, as it contains camphor. The warning label also warns that VapoRub should be kept out of children's reach. A spokesman for the manufacturers, American-based Procter and Gamble, said: "We were really sorry to hear about this unfortunate accident and acknowledge the distress it must have caused the family. The safety and well-being of those who use our products is our utmost priority. We'd like to provide reassurance that our products are safe when used as intended. "Our packaging clearly states that this product should be kept out of the reach of children, should not be used on children under the age of two and provides helpful guidance on what to do if the product is accidentally ingested." The mum wanted to spread awareness on social media and inform fellow parents of the product's potential dangers for babies. Fortunately, Poppy is on the mend and has no further symptoms. Carly took to social media to warn others of her ordeal, with many unaware of how harmful the common cold ointment could be for children. She added: "Parents online and friends couldn't believe how dangerous this product is, and say they never knew. So many thanked me for highlighting it. Please keep it in a cupboard high up, and if you have children a little older, tell them it's very dangerous to put things in your mouth."

27 Practical Items From Lowe's That'll Make Small But Noticeable Improvements To Your Home
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Extreme Makeover: Lowe's Edition. 1. An over-the-toilet storage cabinet here to dramatically expand the amount of storage in your bathroom *without* having to drill any holes. Now all your TP, candles, makeup, fragrances, and more won't be without a home. Lowe's Promising review:"It's a beautiful addition to my bathroom. Super easy to put together." — hhhhcc 2. A silverware organizer so you can say goodbye to the chaos of digging through a mess of spoons, forks, and spatulas just to find the one you need. With this gem, everything has a proper home. Lowe's Promising review:"I just had my kitchen remodeled and also wanted to organize my cupboards and drawers. The drawers are larger than I had before so buying the adjustable bamboo drawer liner was perfect. I was able to put all my silverware, and cutting knives, and larger kitchen accessories in one place. It's awesome and makes everything visual and easy to see." — Pattycakes 3. A Vicks tabletop humidifier because it is DRY outside. These little gadgets are like the 8th wonders of the world, as they work tirelessly to pump your room full of warm, misty air. It also has a compartment for Vicks VapoPads which puts the brand's signature sinus-relieving scent into the atmosphere of your space. Lowe's Vicks VapoPads contain essential oils. According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Promising review: " We put this in the bedroom and turn it on, and it is quiet so as not to affect sleep. Goes through a tank of water per night on the high setting and that's a good thing." — Jim M 4. A workstation kitchen sink that comes fully loaded with a cutting board, drying rack, stainless-steel colander, foldable rack, and rinse grid — and hold on to your soundproofed! Yep, you heard that right. No more clanking noises while you prep — just sleek, quiet efficiency. Lowe's Promising review:"Recommended by our designer, no other recommendations (for a basic galley style kitchen). Plumber also liked it. It's so NICE to have room to clean everything and/or have room for other items to soak while washing up, or load many dishes for cleaning later. Extra 'included items' are mostly useful. Veggie tray might be more of a storage bin under the sink. The cutting board is lovely. The dryer rack has MANY uses. I will never go back to a divided 'old style' sink. Time will tell if it wears well." — SacoMom 5. A pet door designed to let your pooch or kitty take their potty breaks when they please. It also includes a divider insert, for the days when you need to keep them in or out. Lowe's Promising review:"Installed this on my garage to the outside door in about an hour. The hardest thing was cutting the steel fire door. After I made the cut, I put everything else together pretty quickly. Our dog learned how to use it in about five minutes. It also comes with a hard plastic slide-in door that's great for when you want to keep your animals in or out. I would really recommend to anyone in the market for one." — Pete 6. An all-purpose cleanser that'll work miracles on everything from your bathroom to your kitchen to your backyard and back again. Lowe's Promising review:"After searching for and wasting money, time, and energy on other products that only disappointed me, I finally found Bar Keepers Friend. I am utterly, hopelessly, completely, and totally head over heels IN LOVE with this stuff! I've never seen stainless-steel sinks look so beautiful in my life, and my ONLY regret is that I didn't find this stuff sooner. I am a new — and now forever — loyal customer, and I truly hope they NEVER stop making this!" — Takia 7. A deck storage box you can fill with extra cushions, pillows, pool toys — anything you want to readily grab while you're enjoying the backyard, but need a place to pack it all away at the end of the night. Lowe's Promising review: "The deck box is sturdy and was easy to assemble. The directions were very clear and needed no additional high-end tools. It holds so much — two chaise-lounge cushions, four connected seat and back cushions, a love-seat cushion, and two chair cushions. This will protect the cushions when they aren't in use." — Silver75 Price: $179 8. A six-outlet extender since your need for plugs is becoming overwhelming. Phones, laptops, headphones, cute aesthetic lamp for your kitchen too much to keep track of and there's NOT ENOUGH PLUGS. This genius contraption is here to save the day. Lowe's Promising review:"I bought this because it allows having several 'bricks' plugged in at the same time. A good item for an isolated receptacle. Also will work well behind furniture, with its side-facing outlets." — Lowe's reviewer 9. A set of wicker storage baskets to hide basically anything you'd rather not have on display. We LOVE when organization doubles as decor. You're welcome. 10. A unique mirror in a sleek oval design that comes with the bonus of HIDDEN STORAGE, because who doesn't love a chic, sneaky spot to stash your stuff? Lowe's 11. A citronella garden torch that'll not only add some ~aesthetic~ to your backyard setup, but will also keep those pesky mosquitoes from crashing the party. Lowe's Promising review: "We bought four of these to put around our deck for our daughter's graduation party. Not only did they keep away the bugs, but they also added that extra lighting we needed and looked beautiful at night. We love them and use them every night. We can enjoy our deck to the fullest." — Deann 12. And some string lights to come to the rescue when the sun sets and you realize you aren't ready for the party to end! These combined with a roaring fire will provide exactly the light and ambience you desire. Promising review:"I purchased two of these this weekend to install on my new deck. I needed long ones so I wouldn't have to string several sets together. I was surprised at the price of these. The wires are really thick and heavy duty. T he LED bulbs are a hard plastic, which was great because the bulbs tended to hit each other on my deck railing when I was installing them. Glass bulbs would have broken! The light was a lot brighter than I thought they would be, and I could not be happier with my purchase. My neighbors already came over to ask where I got them, and I quickly pointed them toward Lowe's. Thanks for making my deck more enjoyable!" — Kristy 13. A roll of marble contact paper — aka the quickest way to breathe new life into an old piece of furniture, or even your kitchen countertops. Fun weekend project, anyone?! Lowe's Promising review:" I love this paper. I rent and was looking for a removable way to change the look of my kitchen, and this was perfect. People can't believe it's paper when they come over. I have to peel it up a bit to convince them. Very cheap price but high quality. Easy to work with, and the pre-measured lines on the back made my project even easier and less overwhelming. I also used this product in white to resurface my cabinets, and it came out beautiful." — T Price: $11.98 (available in five colors/patterns) 14. A discreet door draft stopper that'll prevent any unwanted drafts from creeping inside your home. Your heating bill is no joke, so it only makes sense to keep it INSIDE this winter! Lowe's Promising review: "Immediately stopped the draft. Easy to use with self-adhesive strip." — Shawn Z. 15. A sleek bathroom vanity packed with a spacious sink bowl and enough cabinet space for all your toiletries and beauty essentials. Lowes Promising review: 'I needed a slim profile and a cabinet, not a pedestal sink, this worked out perfectly. Came assembled, which was great — sturdy and attractive, although not solid wood, it doesn't look cheap at all, and the price was RIGHT! The sink is attractive and functional. I would recommend it and have!' — Renovator 16. A sleek pull-down kitchen faucet that, dare I say, might make doing your dishes a weeeee-bit more enjoyable? Lowe's Promising review:"Modern look. Extremely easy to install. Swivel is in the neck so no coming loose at base from use. Strong spray." — Jlebean 17. A Google Nest smart home hub you can use to control just about every amenity — I'm talkin' music, shows, alarms, calendar reminders, to-do lists — in your house, apartment or condo from a single screen. Talk about living in the future!! Lowe's Promising review:"Excellent product! Makes my life easier and better. Sleep sensing, Google Assistant, great audio, weather, alarm, news, YouTube, and more!" — Ariana Price: $99.99 18. A wooden closet kit to finally declutter the black hole that exists behind those doors, once and for all. Especially if you're just working with one hanging rack ATM — this will essentially quadruple the amount of space you have to work with. Lowe's Promising review:"Pleasantly surprised with how easily this came together. Just followed the steps and took about an hour maybe with my husband and I tag-teaming it. It really helped with my long dresses and organizing. I'm very pleased." — Belle 19. A white hall tree that'll completely transform your entryway or mudroom into an organized oasis. Every shoe, every coat, every hat, every bag — they'll each have a home of their own. Lowe's Promising review:"I love this. Looks cute in my entryway. It's sturdy and was easy to put together. The pieces weren't marked but it was pretty easy to figure out what was what based on the instructions since the pieces are basically all different. Shoes fit, but I have to turn them on their sides or put them together to fit in one cubby." — DemoGirl25 20. A six-spray dual showerhead to turn your boring ol' shower into a spa-like oasis. Plus, matte black fixtures are all the rage these days. Lowe's Promising review:"You can have both sprayers going for a wide range. Or you can turn the water off on either the fixed halo only or the handheld. The handheld is easy to take off and on. It looks classy and expensive. The best part: You can stand under a warm, wide spray while using the handheld. A wonderful feature in the winter." — Vicster 21. A bathroom ventilation fan because simply cracking the window isn't going to work for you in the middle of January. This thing even has a programmable LED light and Bluetooth speaker (making it WAYYY more chic than a regular ol' one). Lowes Promising review: "I love this product. I have one in the guest bathroom and master bath. The speaker is great and the night-light options are cool. The display is easy to read and lights up as well!" — Pati 22. A door-hanging ironing board that conveniently folds up and out-of-sight when you're not using it. BUT! It also acts as a handy lil' countertop to *fold* your clothes too (because, let's be real — who is ironing these days?? Couldn't be me.) 23. An abstract area rug made of super-soft material and has top-tier stain-resistance — plus the abstract design lends itself to those of us who are prone-to-spill. *slowly raises hand* Lowe's Promising review: "Well protected for transport and great size for standard dining room table!"— John D 24. A pack of floral peel-and-stick wallpaper to finally quell your desire to experiment with wallpaper in a big, bold way. Not only is this renter friendly thanks to its peel-away adhesive, but you can actually use it on furniture, too! Lowe's Promising review:"I used this wallpaper in my laundry room and I love the results! It was easy to use and is very thick which prevents tearing. The pattern is perfect for a cottage or farmhouse-style room." — Elaine 25. A pine console table because you NEED a place to drop your keys and what-not right when you enter the door. A stylish little number like this is going to save you many a headache knowing your essentials are in the same place, right where you left them. Lowe's Promising review:"I've been eyeing this console for a while and treated myself to getting it. I absolutely love it for a small apartment hallway. Easy assembly. Fits perfectly!" — Butterball Price: $128.76 (available in three colors) 26. A rolling baker's rack to take full advantage of that empty wallspace in your tiny apartment. More workspace AND more storage space?? Sounds like a deal you can't pass up. Lowe's Promising review:"Does it look like the pic? Yes. Is it easy to put together? Yes. I had it delivered to me, which was great. This gave me some needed workspace for my air fryer and other stuff." — DDay Price: $103.28 27. A sleek toilet paper holder that might just be THE most practical thing I've ever seen?? Not only can you stack up those rolls so your guests never have to awkwardly scream, "UHHH, YOU'RE OUT OF TOILET PAPER!" but also conveniently prop your phone up while you ~do your business~. Lowe's Promising review:"Love it, very functional as it holds two spare large toilet paper rolls. We don't always have pockets, so, it's a great place to hold our cell phones. Product also comes in bronze, which I have in master bath." — Jan K Price: $24.99 (available in three colors) Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
