Is Accidental Ingestion Of Cortizone-10 By A Child A Cause Of Concern?

I accidentally started to brush my child s teeth with cortisone 10 yesterday. Most of it slid off of the toothbrush and into the sink. That s when I realized what it was. I immediately wiped and rinsed his mouth out and used toothpaste afterwards. Today he s a little feverish but acting normal. Should I be concerned that the cortisone is the cause?
