Is Accidental Ingestion Of Dettol By An Infant A Cause For Concern?
My 1 year old swallowed Dettol antiseptic liquid. I am not sure how much. The bottle was closed but it leaks a bit...and she was licking it. She didn t like the taste and came to me crying which is when I noticed it! She had a bit if water and slept . I feel terrible! Should I be worried?? Please let me know if I should do anything about it!

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The best thing to do in such cases is to induce vomiting. Please give her a bottle of warm water, so she can vomit. After she vomits, can give plenty of water.
Rinse her mouth thoroughly.
If you notice anything unusual, send her to ER.
All the best.
