Immediately rinse your mouth with plenty of water to dilute the Dettol liquid; then, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 12 cup of water to create a soothing mouthwash; gargle several times and spit it out; apply a topical pain reliever, like Orajel or Anbesol, to the affected area with a cotton swab
