Hi dear ,
As per your query you accidentally drank lizol . Well this is a phenol derivative which cause damage to mucosa . Such products are corrosive poison and do harm mucosa . This the reason for itching and burning sensation in your throat . I would suggest you to drink glass full of milk as it will prevent mucosa . Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for discomfort of throat . Do warm salt water gargles 2-3 times and consult ER without any delay because sometimes condition get complicated if any amount of such product remains in the body . Doctor may perform gastric lavage to remove even a small amount of lizol from your body . Doctor may also prescribe medicine like sucralfate to treat the damage cause to mucosa of throat and stomach.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
