Can Traces Of Lysol Liquid Cause Any Problem To 16 Month Old?

I turned my back for a second and my 16 month old got the safety latch off the cabinet and grabbed the bottle of lysol liquid disinfectant. The lid was secure but the lid was damp. as if it had been in her mouth. I checked she doesn't smell like the cleaner. But it nearly scared me to death

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. i just read through your question.
This is a very common occurrence. In this case, however, there is little to be concerned about. It is unlikely that any of the lysol actually got into her mouth. Additionally, even if a little bit did, the amount is so small as to be non-toxic. Had there been a toxic amount ingested, you would have seen the effect almost immediately. So you can relax and not worry.
