Study Notes
Contraindications for Topical Oil Preparations
- Infants and Small Children: Avoid applying oil preparations to the face, especially the nasal area. This can lead to severe reactions like glottal spasm, bronchial spasm, asthma-like attacks, and potentially even respiratory failure.
- Patients with Digestive Ulcers and Gastric Issues: The text recommends caution for these individuals but does not specify the reasons. This likely stems from the potential for the oil to irritate or exacerbate existing digestive problems.
- Patients with Contact Dermatitis: Individuals with contact dermatitis should avoid oil preparations as they could further irritate the skin and worsen the condition.
