What Are The Repercussions Of Accidental Ingestion Of Dettol Bar Soap?

My daughter was chewing on a dettol bar soap. I don t think she got much, but I don t know for sure. Is there any harm that I should be worried about? Should I take her in? I immediately gave her a bottle of formula to wash down whatever was in her mouth. I couldn t see anything in her mouth, so how much consumption is unknown. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
It will not cause any significant difficulties or toxic effects. It may lead to nausea or vomit right after digestion but if she is fine now then there is no need to see doctor.Just give her enough fluids today and it will be fine.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
