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 just ended up taking two dolo 650 tablets by accident, like 15 minutes apart. I tried to vomit right after the second one, but I'm not sure if the tablet came out. Is this something to worry about, or is there anything specific I should do now?
No you dont have to worry as you vomit after 15 min as paracetamol, it takes half an hour to one hour for absorption. As paracetamol is safest drug Higher doses lead to increasing risk of toxicity .This much amount will not cause any toxicity

I'm a bit concerned because my husband accidentally mixed bleach with a tile cleaner while cleaning the bathroom, and it caused a really strong smell. He left the bathroom and cleaned it again after about ten minutes, but since then, he's been coughing a bit and feeling some chest tightness. He also can't stop burping. He drank some Electral afterward, and his oxygen levels seem normal at 98. Should I be worried about this? What should we do next?
Your husband's symptoms, such as cough, chest tightness, and continuous burping, are likely due to inhalation of toxic fumes from the bleach and tile cleaner mixture; while his oxygen levels are normal, it's essential to monitor his condition closely and seek medical attention immediately if symptoms worsen or if he experiences difficulty breathing, severe headache, or dizziness; consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.
