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?

I was wondering what would happen if air got injected into an artery instead of a vein by mistake with a regular syringe. Is it something I should be worried about?

Rat bit me on my hand today and there was some bleeding from the wound. I'm really worried about what to do next. Can you tell me what medicines or precautions I should take?
Rat bites can lead to infections and other complications. It's important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. Apply an antiseptic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Additionally, you should get a tetanus shot if you haven't had one in the last 5 years. In some cases, a doctor may also prescribe antibiotics such as Augmentin to prevent infection. Keep the wound clean and covered, and monitor for any signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or increased pain. If you notice any of these signs, seek medical attention promptly.
