Question : child may have brushed teeth with terconazole cream (says 0.4% on package)? She says she only washed her hands, but wondering if she did brush her teeth with it will she be OK or should I take her to the doctors?

Terconazole is antifungal preparation that is commonly used intravaginally.But in case your child has used it for brushing
rinse her mouth properly.
Keep her under observation for 24 hrs.

No need to worry.
