Probably ok, but: You can call poison control and talk to them and they can give you the best information. Have the box or bottle with you, so you can give them the exact ingredients.

Depends on how much: From the sounds of it, you swallowed enough to be irritating, but not enough to cause lasting effects since you were able to post on HealthTap. If you have trouble swallowing, bleeding, vomiting, or other intestinal symptoms, then I would get to an Emergency Care Room quickly. If the amount ingested was small, at this point no antidote or medicine will help; just time. Good luck, & thanks for post
