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.

First, call emergency services or poison control for immediate help. Do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to drink. Rinse mouth with water if conscious.

I took 4 tablets with paracetamol 300g, caffeine 25mg, and phenylephrine hydrochloride 5mg within an hour instead of the recommended 2 every 4-6 hours. I'm 15 and I'm really scared. Am I going to be okay? I had a stomach ache last night but it's fine nowjust having some heavy breathing issues.

I'm really worried because my friend took 8 sleeping pills last night, which I know is more than the recommended amount, and she's still not waking up. Can you tell me what I should do?
Immediately call emergency services or rush your friend to the nearest hospital, as an overdose of 8 sleeping pills can be life-threatening; provide the hospital with the name and quantity of the pills taken, and try to keep your friend awake and moving until medical help arrives.
