Brief Answer: There is no cause for concern Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Vomiting us quite common after consumption of dettol. As you mentioned she has taken only traces, it's unusual to have any burns of oesophagus and stomach. If she is able to swallow well and there is no pain/difficulty in swallowing then there seems to be no cause for concern. I would also suggest to give her Gelusil MPS also which will prevent gastritis. Take care Best Regards Dr T Shobha MBBS MD
