Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but there is no need to worry as you have not swallowed any of the medication .. However, it can cause some irritation of the buccal mucosa that can be manifested by redness of soreness of the mouth mucus membrane .. this can be relieved by a soothing mouth wash as listerine three times daily .. I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
