You should go to ER immediately.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi
I can understand your problem.

Lizol is a caustic substance (corrosive) known to cause poisoning.
It can cause damage to the lining of food pipe (oesophagus) & the stomach.
I advise you to go to ER immediately for proper care.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO VOMIT as it may cause further damage.
For time being at the most you can take cold water or milk to dilute this toxic substance.

Hope this answers your query.
