Brief Answer:
Nothing. All is fine!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this discomfort. Peppermint constitutes no harm to the body beyond the discomfort probably because of the high concentration. There is no need to panic and there is nothing that needs to be done at this time. Time alone is sufficient and should happen within 24-48H for complete resolution.

Keep me updated about this. I wish you well.
