Hi,
Thanks for using HCM.
Can understand your concern.
Lizol (cresol +soap) is a phenolic compound , unsuitable for human ingestion is used as a cleaning disinfectant and antimicrobial.
It can cause nausea, vomiting, burning sensation,painful swallowing,corrosion,diorhea,damaging the mucosal layer of the food pipe,affecting the liver kidney & lungs, depending on the quantity of the liquid ingested.
Please visit the emergency room to get your stomach wash done to prevent absorption,which is done usually with activated charcoal, plain water and olive or any vegetable oil.
You will require anti emetics(ondensetron),antacids(PPIs,mucaine gel),iv fluids and local anaesthetic solution to reduce the pain of swallowing.
Get medical attention as early as possible, with assistance.
Please do not do such mistakes intentionally or unintentionally in future as it can cause deteriorating clinical as well as medicolegal problems.

Hi
Thanks for following up with HCM.
In that case you don"t have to worry.
please take the antacid solution gelusil or mucaine gel 10 ml thrice daily after 30 minutes after food or before food for 2 days
Added with pantoprozole +domperidone(pan-d capsule) daily once for 2 days.
These will take care of your vomiting, and pain.
Take bland, non spicy,soft diet, easily digestible with maintainence of proper hydration.
If your symptoms subside, with good tolerance of oral feeds,then it seems you are cured by God`s grace, so do not worry.
Any doubt please get back to us.
