I'm really worried because someone close to me accidentally inhaled a large amount of Domex bathroom cleaner. Since then, they've been having trouble breathing and can't stop coughing. What should we do? Is there anything specific that can help right now?

may be suffering from chemical inhalation injury. It is important to seek immediate medical help. In the meantime, you can administer oxygen therapy if available and ensure the patient is in a well-ventilated area. The patient may require bronchodilators such as Salbutamol for breathing difficulties and cough suppressants such as Dextromethorphan to help with the cough. Additionally, corticosteroids like Prednisone may be prescribed to reduce inflammation in the airways. Please seek urgent medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment.

View allWhat could cause someone to pass away if they were laying on their side in the recovery position with blood that had come from their mouth and coagulated on the floor, and had a greyish skin color with a deep purple bruise on their forehead or cheek? I noticed they were told to start compressions until the ambulance arrived, but when I tried to roll them, they barely moved. I'm really concerned, and I'm trying to understand what might have happened.
Based on the description, possible causes of death could include cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, or a severe head injury, potentially caused by a fall or blunt trauma, which may have resulted in the observed bruise and stiffness in the body; other potential causes could include a pulmonary embolism, stroke, or an aneurysm, but a thorough investigation, including an autopsy and toxicology report, would be necessary to determine the exact cause of death.

I got a dog bite last night and rushed to the hospital for the anti-rabies vaccine's first dose. I'm really wondering if it's safe to be intimate with my wife after getting this first shot. Can you advise on this?
Yes. You can have sexual relations with your wife.

I just stepped on an iron nail and it pricked my foot. It wasn't a deep wound, just bled a bit. I'm not sure about my past vaccinations. Should I consider getting a tetanus shot now?
yes you need to get vaccinated
