Drinking Lizol (a disinfectant) is dangerous and can cause severe burns to your mouth, throat, and stomach, along with potential organ damage. Please seek immediate medical attention to prevent complications, as it is a medical emergency. Avoid inducing vomiting unless directed by a doctor.

Question

I'm really worried because I accidentally drank a spoonful of Dettol liquid and now my mouth is on fire. What should I do to treat the burning sensation?

I've recently started trying MDMA after a friend introduced me to it, and while the experience was pretty amazing, I'm dealing with some concerning side effects now. I did two IV injections of 10mg eachone around 10:30 PM and another at 4:30 AM. I tried to stay hydrated, but now the right side of my lower lip is super swollen, and there's this burning feeling on the tip of my tongue with some white patches that seem like dehydration marks. It took me a couple of hours to get home, and once I did, I brushed my teeth, cleaned my tongue, and used Betadine and Listerine mouthwash. I also took Allegra 180, a small ORS Tetra Pack, a B Complex Capsule, and an anti-inflammatory, plus I chewed on some Vitamin C throughout the day. That helped a bit, but the swelling isn't getting better. What should I do about this?

Question

Got hit on the temple, and it's swollen. It really hurts when I touch it or if I open my mouth. Plus, I've got this headache. Do you think it's something I should be worried about?
