Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Lyzol is a disinfectant which is a phenolic compound.
IW you are not smelling it from his mouth there is less chance of ingestion.
Watch your baby for any corrisive symptoms over mucous membrane of lips or mouth.
Watch for any vomiting or diarrhoea or lethargy for next 12 hours.
Give him plenty of fluids and routine diet.
In case you observe any symptom get him examined by doctor.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can help further.
Wishing your baby good health.
God bless..
