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 allI've ended up taking 8 ibuprofen tablets in just 35 minutes because my hip is really sore and I'm having a hard time walking. Now the pain is spreading to my rib, both at the front and back, and it feels like a sharp, jabbing pain. Should I be worried about taking so many tablets in that short time, or is this kind of pain normal?
Phimosis can be treated with either topical steroids or surgery. Topical steroids (e.g., betamethasone) can help stretch the foreskin, but may require repeated applications. Surgery (circumcision or preputioplasty) provides a more permanent solution. Consult a urologist or a pediatric surgeon in Bangalore to determine the best approach for your case. Some recommended hospitals in Bangalore include: Apollo Hospitals Fortis Hospitals Manipal Hospitals

I've recently started trying MDMA after a friend introduced me to it, and while the experience was pretty amazing, I'm dealing with some concerning side effects now. I did two IV injections of 10mg eachone around 10:30 PM and another at 4:30 AM. I tried to stay hydrated, but now the right side of my lower lip is super swollen, and there's this burning feeling on the tip of my tongue with some white patches that seem like dehydration marks. It took me a couple of hours to get home, and once I did, I brushed my teeth, cleaned my tongue, and used Betadine and Listerine mouthwash. I also took Allegra 180, a small ORS Tetra Pack, a B Complex Capsule, and an anti-inflammatory, plus I chewed on some Vitamin C throughout the day. That helped a bit, but the swelling isn't getting better. What should I do about this?
