Hi so I had a boil under my nose and I decided to compress it with warm water and then use anti bacteria soap and washed it with warm water. Then I decided to apply dettol without adding water to it. It started stinging so I quickly washed it off with cold water and now I feel iv got it in my mouth and i?m quite worried as my mouth smells of dettol now.
