Mouthwash: Generally no problem. A little will no hurt you. If you are still concerned see your dentist or PCP.

Should be OK but...: This normally should not create a problem, but everyone can react in different ways. If you notice anything different in how you are feeling, consider seeing a Dr. or call poison control. It may also depend upon the type/brand/strength of the mouthwash
