My daughter is 4 years old and she sucks her thumb since the age of 6 months. Due to this habit she is a fussy eater. Can I apply femite solution on her thumb so as to get rid of this habit. Is this safe for children?

The femite solution is toxic and if inhaled, it can cause a lot of effects like confusion, behavioural problem, agitation and so on. The age of 4 years is not an issue and gentle and loving counselling and advice will change the habit.
