I'm really worried after what happened last night I was nearly drowning in a deep pool without realizing it until I almost ran out of breath. I managed to get out with some help, but I swallowed a lot of the pool water. Initially, I was gasping for air but felt okay after about 20-30 minutes. The problem is now I'm shivering, my left arm is aching, and it seems like I'm taking fewer breaths than usual. I'm feeling super tired and looking pale too. Is this something serious, or is it a normal reaction?

View allI'm a bit confused about tetanus shots. If I get one today and then have an injury in the next few days, do I need another injection right away, or am I covered for a bit? Can you help clarify this?
If you have received a tetanus shot today and then sustain an injury, you typically do not need another tetanus shot unless it has been more than 5 years since your last tetanus vaccination. In that case, you may need a tetanus booster shot within 48 hours of the injury. The recommended vaccine for tetanus booster is Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) and the usual adult dosage is 0.5 mL given intramuscularly.

I'm a bit concerned because my husband accidentally mixed bleach with a tile cleaner while cleaning the bathroom, and it caused a really strong smell. He left the bathroom and cleaned it again after about ten minutes, but since then, he's been coughing a bit and feeling some chest tightness. He also can't stop burping. He drank some Electral afterward, and his oxygen levels seem normal at 98. Should I be worried about this? What should we do next?
Your husband's symptoms, such as cough, chest tightness, and continuous burping, are likely due to inhalation of toxic fumes from the bleach and tile cleaner mixture; while his oxygen levels are normal, it's essential to monitor his condition closely and seek medical attention immediately if symptoms worsen or if he experiences difficulty breathing, severe headache, or dizziness; consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.
