What Are The Repercussions Of The Accidental Ingestion Of Lysol Liquid?
Question: i swallow a lysol of little bit by mistake what should i do now? please help me i vomit at that time and there is no burning sense in my stomach but it likes something is stucked when in drink or eat something.
Brief Answer:
No major cause of worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
1. A small amount of Lysol liquid is not dangerous, but it can irritate the delicate lining (mucosa) of the airway, lungs, food pipe and stomach.
2. The irritation or allergy due to Lysol may lead to internal swelling after a few hours, hence I recommend that you consult a doctor immediately, especially if you have cough or difficulty in breathing, in which case you may be admitted for observation.
3. Have a few tablespoons of Liquid Paraffin IP (medical grade) if available to dilute the traces of Lysol and to soothe the internal linings. Lysol does not dissolve completely in water.
4. I will again stress that since you have vomited out some of the Lysol liquid and if the quantity was under 20 ml, there should be no major cause for worry.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
