Is There Any Side Effects From Exposure Of Dettol Inside Eyes?
Hi
I had a cut above my eye (just below the eye brow). I applied dettol to the cut but i believe some of it might've got into my eye after I washed my face. I have mild irritation in the eye since then. Could it be because of dettol in eyes? Are there any side effects possible due to this?
Thanks

Hello
Welcome to health care magic
Dettol will cause irritation of the eye and it will not cause any permanent side effects. No need to worry.
Wash the eye thoroughly with water. You can use artificial tears for symptomatic relief.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
