She said: 'Eucalyptus oil is particularly toxic - in Australia, where eucalyptus oil is more widely used, there have been reports of children who have drunk it presenting with convulsions.
Children who suffer corneal ulcers will need at least one course of antibiotics dropped directly into the eye, as well as flushing with large quantities of saline solution. Drinking the oil can cause changes in heart rhythm, such as tachycardia, where the heart rate speeds up, or irregular heartbeats.
Other side-effects can include breathing problems caused when the drops are put into the nose accidentally. The oil acts as an irritant, which causes mucosal tissue to become inflamed and a dramatic increase in mucusal secretions.
This can cause vomiting, which in turn can see the oil getting into the lungs. Dr Yorke says the problems are not confined to young patients. She said: 'Elderly patients have also been known to put it in their eyes because it's in such a small bottle. And she said the 'natural' image of the oils could lull people into a false sense of security. Three-year-old John Oliver, from Fulham, south west London, needed emergency treatment at the Chelsea and Westminster after he opened the bottle of Olbas Oil kept in his bedroom, sipped it and put some in his eye.
She said: 'He's my third child so I thought I knew what was dangerous and what wasn't, but I had no idea Olbas Oil could cause problems, and had left it in his bedroom after sprinkling some on his pillow when I put him to bed.
Mrs Oliver rang NHS Direct as a precaution and was shocked when they offered to send an ambulance, saying her son needed to be seen by a doctor within one hour. She took him to Chelsea and Westminster where he was seen by Dr Yorke, who said he had to have his eye washed out with two litres of saline solution before being checked to see if there was any corneal damage or residue from the oil.
John also had to wear a heart monitor for several hours to see whether his heart rate would be affected by swallowing the Olbas Oil. A spokesman for Lanes health care, manufacturer of Olbas Oil, said: 'We take this kind of incident very seriously and take on board all suggestions for ways we can improve our products.
