My daughter who is 1 years old has a habit of sucking her thumb during the day and night .... I have heard about a lotion Femite which is bitter in taste to use for getting rid of such habit.... want to know how safe is it to use on kids... any side effects ?
Welcome to Ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my answer. As a matter of fact, your child will not swallow even a little amount as it is very pungent thing. But yes, it has side effects as gastric upset, nausea, omitting and loose stools. But as I have said above, no child will suck his finger if Semite is put there. He will spit out. I hope I have solved your query. Let me know if I can assist you further in this query. With regards Chat Doctor.
