Should The ER Be Visited After Overdosing On Afrin Nasal Spray?

I used a nasal spray by the name of Afrin. But I think I accidentally put more than the recommended drops. Reccomended was 2 per nostril and I think I put five. Going from my nose to my throat I sort of felt a swallowing feeling. Reading the back it says if swallowed go seek emergency services, should I do so or will I be okay? PLEASE RESPOND ASAP I AM PANICKING

Don't worry nothing will happen. If you observe nose pain or bleeding or palpitations or headache means you can consult your physician immediately.

Take care.
