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 worried because he's having neck and ear pain, and now his heart rate is up to 118, and his BP's at 13593. Plus, he's been dealing with a cold and cough since yesterday. Should I be concerned about these symptoms happening all together?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to an upper respiratory tract infection. To address your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen for pain relief and a decongestant like pseudoephedrine for your cold symptoms. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help with congestion. For your cough, you can try a cough syrup containing dextromethorphan. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
