This effect should gradually wear off. Please keep the bottles apart and always read the bottle label before use. You will be fine

Should return to normal in a few weeks. Dettol antiseptic products are designed for external, not internal, use. Know that mouthwash is an adjunct to brushing and flossing, not a replacement for either brushing or flossing.
