Thank you for the input.

Listerine contains alcohol, menthol. Excess of it can cause side effects. Menthol allergy can occur. You have taken a small amount. It should not cause any side effect. Gastric irritation can be possible. Take plenty of water. If you feel any discomfort, then talk to poison control centre(NNN) NNN-NNNN
