Do not swig mouthwash directly from the bottle, especially if you are feeling sick. There is no way of knowing if you have taken the correct dosage. If you do have a bacteria or virus, drinking directly from the bottle could transmit your infection to others who may use the same bottle of mouthwash.
If you or someone you know swallows a large amount of mouthwash, keep the product label handy and call the Poison Control Hotline: 1-800-222-1222.
