Are There Any Problems Associated With The Swallowing Of The Mouthwash?
My boyfriend has been drinking a bit tonight and when we got home he went to go brush his teeth and he swallowed some mouth wash. He said his stomach hurt and felt nauseous and when I asked him how much he swallowed he said he doesn't know, just enough to fill up his mouth. I made him have a sip of water then he fell asleep. Is there anything I should be concerned about ?

Hi,
Accidentally swallowing of mouthwash is making his stomach hurt and feeling nauseous. I advise to make him drink plenty of warm water to vomit all the quantity he drank this night (if within few hours after drinking).
Even though he will not vomit, at least, the mouthwash will be diluted and no cause to concern.
Let me know if you have further queries!
