Hello sir, please be patient. I think it is a transient paralysis due to phenol in dettol. I suggest you to do warm saline rinses 6 hourly a day for 5 days. For further details you can contact me at my code bj6eie thanks.

Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water multiple times daily. Take some multivitamins. The sensation will gradually resume. But you will have to wait for some days. If any issue do not hesitate to contact us.
