A member asked:

I have been using throat spray and have accidentally swallowed some each time of use, i now have been having heart palps. can the phenol cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but: more likely from decongestant if you are using a med with pseudoephedrine. Stop using them if you have significant palpitations, and see your doctor for alternative cold meds.
