Hi XXXXX.

Thanks for writing to us.

I understand your concern.

Lysol is a phenolic compound which causes various symptoms like pain and burning sensation in mouth,vomiting.nausea,cns depression.
But symptoms depends upon amount of lysol ingested.
Since it has a bad smell so it is very unlikely for children to ingest it in large amount.
Rinse his mouth with water.
Give water to drink.
Give milk in large quantity to drink.
In the meantime if any symptoms develop take him to emergency where further management will be done depending upon condition.

Hope I have answered your query,Let me know if you have any further question.
Wishing your child good health.
God bless..
