Is There Any Side Effect Of Swallowing Hydrocortisone Ointment?
Been having bad allergies in the middle of the night. Accidentally snorted hydrocortisone ointment. It was on a tissue which is used to blow my nose and a tiny bit went up my nose and I swallowed it. I had induced vomiting but am still concerned. Should I go to the hospital?

Hi,
Do not worry. A little amount is not of major concern if you do not have any symptoms or discomfort. In case you have any sneezing or cough, you may visit your doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
