Accidental body wash ingestion

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

12 hours ago I accidentally ingested body wash while bathing. I vomitted thrice right after it in 2 hours. My family doctor gave me emeset. Morning I went to a local 24hrs and they suggested stomach wash and then IV. My mouth still feels like soap and foamy. Should I do stomach wash? Or simply let it go. Will it be okay in 24hours?
