Hi,

From your explanation, it looks like he spilt it and not ingested much. For now, just keep a watch over his symptoms and if at all you notice any symptoms then immediately rush to the emergency room.

Make him gargle and if cannot wipe the inside of his mouth thoroughly. Also, make him eat well and give plenty of water. If there is any doubts get him checked by an Emergency doctor or a Paediatrician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
