Brief Answer:
Very unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description it is clear that you have just injected 3.3 mg of lignocaine and that is completely non lethal dose. I do not think you need to worry about the toxicity or death as it will not cause anything significant.
I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
