Hello, last night i accidentally ingested a drop of liquid which contained lye. i drank a lot of milk and water. should i be concerned?

Lye: one drop that you diluted with milk and water without any problems by now is fine. Lye is a strong base which in larger amounts would have caused severe burns of your mouth esophagus and stomach. The fact that you have no symptoms by now means you were, very, very lucky.
