Can bacteria causing meningitis grow in expired makeup products?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I accidentally got expired liner on my mouth, and then I read about meningitis bacteria growing in expired makeup, and now I am really worried.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

No need to worry. It is a rare issue. You may have a gastric issue or vomiting. You can take tablet Pantop 40 (Pantoprazole) milligrams twice a day before food for five days and tablet Doxy 100 (Doxycycline) twice a day after food for five days to prevent infection.

  1. Drink adequate water.

  2. Avoid oily and spicy food.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
