As long as the little one didn't swallow the cleaner or any chemicals that could be toxic, and if it has passed the wind pipe (in other words, didn't choke on it), the lens will pass and should come out the other end in a day or two at most.

you'll be fine, your body will process the contact accordingly and you won't have anything negative happen. By the way, why did you have your contact in your mouth?
