Detailed Answer:
hi and welcome.
there is no need to be concerned. cortisone won't cause any bad effects in mouth and even if small amount is swallowed. just wash his mouth good with water and teeth with toothpaste,give him easier food in next 24 hours and follow his behaviour. wish you good health. regards
