Mistook dettol for mouthwash

2018-03-21 06:59:25
The tip seems burnt a bit. Have rinsed my mount a bunch of times. Putting ice will help? What can I do to make this better? There's burning sensation on the tip of my tongue. What ointment can I use. What to eat on such situation?

Just rinse your mouth more thoroughly. If burning sensation still continues topical aesthetic (like zytee l) can help. Otherwise nothing to worry.
Next Steps
take soft bland food.
Health Tips
ice is not recommended.
