Does Ingestion Of Bleach In Small Quantity Cause Any Side Effects?

I had a small Sprite bottle half full of bleach, I forgot that I had poured it the Sprite bottle , we keep the bleach in the basement so I just put some in a Sprite bottle to do my cleaning upstairs! Well I forgot and and took a big swig, I didn t swallow it I spit it out immediately and stared gargling with water Listerine and milk! I called the ambulance they took my vitals and all were normal. They asked if I wanted to the hospital I said no they thought I would be ok and so did I. Should I have went ? I feel fine!! Will I be ok? Thank you so much .. Lorraine Townsend-

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I don't think there is something you need to worry about since you didn't ingest it and also rinsed mouth. Also the emergency professionals who visited you found no problem so continue your activities the same. Don't worry about it.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
