Accidentally put dettol in my nostril. Had it on my fingers and put the same finger In my nostril immediately. Approx 0.5 ml - 2 ml might made contact with nasal mucosa. It burned a bit and eyes got watery too. This happened 2 hours back. I blew my nose, washed my nose with water several times. Since then I have mild soreness in ears and throat. After reading about it I also developed slight tightness of throat - don't know if its happening because of anxiety or dettol. Do I need to go to the hospital.

Instill saline nasal drop and do some water gargles. And get checked it up as soon as possible, and take medicine prescribed by dr, if any. Most likely it won't be a serious issues. But comment can be done only after seeing nose and throat.
