Brief Answer:
You need to be treated in ER immediately.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I can understand your problem.
Since you have consumed Lizol (Phenyl), it is a toxic substance which can damage the lining of the food pipe and stomach hence seems to have resulted in poisoning.

1. DO NOT EVER make an attempt to vomit or self induced vomiting
2. If you have difficulty in swallowing or vomiting sensation do not take water or milk as it may further damage the lining of the food pipe or stomach.
3. Call the emergency service like ambulance from the nearest hospital in your area.

So, do not delay in seeking the treatment.

Wishing you best of your health.
