I accidentally swallowed some dish washing soap

Updated:   Published

I was rinsing my cup out with some ajax soap... just a few drops.

I didn't rinse the cup thoroughly..

I filled the cup up with water, and drank it.

I didn't realize that there were soap bubbles in my cup until I was already half way through drinking the entire cup.

Please help. ??

Do I need to go to the ER?

Or do anything here at home to better the situation?

Is the dish washing soap going to damage my insides?

When in doubt, call the poison control or your local nurse hot line. Though pitiful as this thread is, we still aren't supposed to give out medical advice.
