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.

My wife just took 5 tablets of Alzolam 0.5mg and she's sleeping right now. I'm really worried, could you please tell me what I should do next? Is this something serious or should I let her sleep it off?

Considering homeopathy alongside conventional treatment is a personal choice. Since you're already taking an antibiotic (Meva-C), consult your doctor before starting homeopathic treatment. For digestive issues, such as loose motions, homeopathy may offer complementary support. Some commonly used homeopathic remedies for digestive issues include: 1. _Arsenicum album_: For diarrhea, abdominal pain, and burning sensations. 2. _Podophyllum_: For loose, watery stools, and abdominal cramps. 3. _Nux vomica_: For digestive issues, such as diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. However, it's essential to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition. They will assess your overall health, symptoms, and medical history to recommend personalized remedies. Before starting homeopathic treatment: 1. _Inform your doctor_: Share your decision to explore homeopathy with your conventional doctor. 2. _Consult a qualified homeopath_: Find a licensed homeopathic practitioner to guide you.
