Suggest Remedies For Accidental Ingestion Of Dettol By A Child

Hi i need your urgent advise, i was in the kitchen and my son 2yr and 9ms is watching inside the room. Unknowingly he took dettol from the bathroom and pour away in our bedsheets. He ran out the room and calling me mommy ...his hands are in his mouth and licking it with dettol on it. I smelled it and ran off quickly to wash it away thru running waters in the bathroom and gave sugar to eat and water to drink...he seems to be fine and playing again but i really dont know whether he drank it or just licked it. I looked on to the bottle but there is no indications that if you drank it what will you do. So please advise... Thanks.
