Question : I very briefly put cortizone on my toothbrush and began brushing moments later I realized I made an error I immediately spit what was in my mouth and immediately rinsed out my mouth with mouthwash, water, and brushed a couple times with toothpaste. Is this sufficient and what would be any symptons if I did swallow any?

No need to worry

Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but there is no need to worry as the possible swallowed amount is minimal (less than an ounce) and is not expected to cause any side effects. I hope you find this helpful. if you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
