<s>[INST] I accidently ingested carmex a couple of days ago...my mouth still feels balmy and my right eye has started to have a dull throbing pain....weds morning I had an endoscopy I was wondering if the ingestion after that procedure would cause a more adverse effect [/INST] HiCarmex contains menthol which could be the cause of any burning sensation.In case you have any burning sensation in the throat,you can postpone endoscopy for a few days.Otherwise it does not affect your the endoscopy procedure.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. RegardsDr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician </s>
