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 allSo, if a pet dog bit someone and the dog was given a Nobivac Rabies vaccination just five months ago, is getting a TT injection going to be enough for the bite? Should there be any additional precautions or steps we should take? Also, is there anything specific we should keep an eye on after the bite?
In addition to the TT (Tetanus Toxoid) injection, it is recommended to also administer the rabies vaccine after a dog bite, especially if the dog's rabies vaccination status is not known or if it has been more than 5 months since the dog was vaccinated with Nobivac Rabies. The rabies vaccine helps prevent the development of rabies infection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
