Brief Answer:
lizol is unlikely to cause conceiving problems and will not damage uterus

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Lizol is a poison and should not be taken orally. If accidentally it has been ingested then you should report to doctor urgently and get an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy done to know if there is any damage to the esophagus and stomach.

Concerning conceiving baby, lizol is unlikely to cause any serious problems and will not damage your uterus.

Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy will not be a problem but get throat examined by ENT surgeon

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

There is a small risk of the lizol causing damage to the mucosal lining of the throat and esophagus. You should not neglect if there are symptoms of sore throat after ingesting the lizol. Please consult an ENT surgeon an get examined. If required then they will recommend you for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Without going to doctor it is difficult to tell how much damage is caused to your thorat due to lizol.

Regarding pregnancy there will not be any problem due to drinking lizol.

Hope your query is answered.
