How To Detoxify Body After Accidental Intake Of Anti Fungal Cream?
I accidentally (I was very tired) grabbed the anti fungal cream next to my travel toothpaste and brushed for about 30 seconds. I swallowed a tiny bit as I was checking the tubes and realized my peroxide toothpaste was something different. My throat is a little sore and tongue feels thick. I took two claritin as i have allergies. I assume all will be fine. It was tee infante hydrochloride cream 1%

Hi,
Accidental ingestion of antifungal cream can cause irritation, burning sensation, nausea, epigastric pain and dizziness.
Based on the history you seem to have taken a very little amount so there is nothing to worry.
However, if the symptoms persist you need to go to emergency room for possible detoxification by means of taking activated charcoal and symptomatic supportive treatment if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
