Any Side Effects Of Burning On Tongue And Gums After Mouth Washing With Dettol ?
Hi,
I mouthwashed with about 20ml of dettol and I seem to have had a burning on my tongue and some gums. My tongue went somewhat numb and I'm pretty sure it burned my taste buds. I have no severe side effects. Only side effects are those said before and the obvious burn identification on the tongue. After some research on the topic, I found out that the numbing of the tongue should ease up in about a week and taste buds should regrow. Do I have anything to worry about?
