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 really worried about my uncle who's in the hospital right now. He's on a ventilator because he has pneumonia, and it's caused infections in his liver and kidneys. His blood pressure is low and his platelet count is down too. Before this, he was being treated for TB. I just want to know if there's anything we can do to help him recover. Is there anything you could suggest that might improve his condition? It's pretty urgent.

Accidentally took 1200mg of ibuprofen, is that going to affect me? I weigh around 180lbs. Should I be worried about any side effects?
Taking 1200mg of ibuprofen is above the typical recommended dose (400-600mg), but for your weight, it's not likely to cause serious harm if its a one-time occurrence. However, watch for signs of stomach upset, dizziness, or any unusual symptoms. If you experience anything concerning, contact a healthcare professional right away.

I'm really worried because he's having neck and ear pain, and now his heart rate is up to 118, and his BP's at 13593. Plus, he's been dealing with a cold and cough since yesterday. Should I be concerned about these symptoms happening all together?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to an upper respiratory tract infection. To address your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen for pain relief and a decongestant like pseudoephedrine for your cold symptoms. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help with congestion. For your cough, you can try a cough syrup containing dextromethorphan. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
