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.

I'm really anxious because I accidentally mixed red Harpic with some floor cleaning acid and then breathed in what tasted like a bitter breath. I found out that Harpic shouldn't be mixed with acid since it can release chlorine gas, but I only realized this after. It's been about 30 minutes since it happened and I don't feel any discomfort yet, but I'm worried since I read online that inhaling chlorine can cause pulmonary edema. I'm trying to get an appointment with a pulmonologist, but nothing's available right now. Do you think I need to see a doctor urgently for this, or is there something I can do right now to prevent any issues? I'm pretty worried, please help me.

I'm really worried because my flatmate accidentally took sorbitrate instead of her prescribed medicine for a UTI. She's only 22 and is now feeling dizzy. The sorbitrate she took was actually meant for her late grandfather. We're in Delhi North Campus and I'm not sure what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to handle this situation and what steps we should take to ensure she's okay?
