You should go to ER

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Ingestion of phenol may lead to Vomiting, Diarrhoea.Apart from gut disturbances, respiratory, cardiovascular systems will also be involved.
Activated charcoal should be given at 1gm/kg body weight.
Till you go to ER,you can take Milk or Egg whites.
As 1gm of phenol ingestion can cause serious consequences,I request you to go to ER and proceed further.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery
