I'm really worried because I accidentally drank some Colin while cleaning glass, and now I'm vomiting. We're in a village and can't get to a doctor right away. Are there any home remedies you can suggest to help with this?

Taking 4 Solos (Electrolyte-Rich Beverages) at Once _Potential risks:_ 1. Electrolyte imbalance: Excessive intake of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium) can lead to an imbalance. 2. Sodium overload: Consuming high amounts of sodium can cause: - Blood pressure increase - Fluid retention - Stomach discomfort 3. Gastrointestinal issues: Drinking 4 Solos at once may cause: - Stomach upset - Nausea - Vomiting - Diarrhea _Precautions:_ 1. Follow recommended serving size: Stick to the recommended serving size (1 Solo packet per 1 liter of water). 2. Space out consumption: Drink Solos at intervals, rather than consuming multiple packets at once. 3. Monitor electrolyte levels: If you have concerns about electrolyte imbalance, consult your doctor or a healthcare professional. 4. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain proper hydration.

Question

I was cleaning my bathroom with Clorox bleach spray and kind of went overboard with it. Now, for the last 4 hours, all I can smell is bleach. I even took a nap hoping I'd get better, but when I woke up, I still smelled the bleach. Then, out of nowhere, I got these really bad lower abdominal pains and ended up vomiting an hour later. My stomach doesn't hurt as much now, but it's still uncomfortable. Should I be worried and maybe go to the emergency room, or is it better to just try and relax until it passes?

Question

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?

Question

I accidentally inhaled some diluted Dettol fumes while spraying, and I could actually feel it running down my throat. Is this something serious? What should I be worried about or do next?
