Brief Answer: Call an ambulance and rush to nearest hospital Detailed Answer: Hello XXXX Thanks for posting your query. Please call for an ambulance right away and go to your nearest hospital, please don't waste time. You will need gastric lavage (Emptying the stomach) and supportive treatment, you don't have to panic as this is not likely to be fatal, but still you will need to rush to a hospital right away. I hope you find this answer useful. All the best,.

Brief Answer: Stomach upset, bleeding from the stomach, etc. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXX Thanks for writing back. The complications will be mostly irritation related, the lysol can cause irritation in the stomach and esophagus that can cause difficulty in swallowing and bleeding from the stomach. You might also develop loose stools and vomiting. Even if you consumed a few ml, I would still suggest you to visit your nearest hospital as soon as possible. I hope that answers your query. Regards.
