Should Something Be Done After Accidently Using Dettol Disinfectant Liquid As A Mouth Wash?
hello, I mistakenly used dettol disinfectant liquid as mouth wash ( bottle looks very similar), after a few seconds it hit me and I spat everything out, the product is meant for personal and home hygiene but not for mouth hygiene, I did not ingest any of it, is there something I should do?
