I've made a mistake and kept some Dettol hygiene liquidthe green kindin my mouth. Now, I can't feel my tongue and it's really sore. My tongue's skin is even peeling off. I'm freaking out a bit and when I went to Sahara Hospital, they told me it'll be fine by morning. I'm still really worried though, can you tell me what I should do? Is there anything else I need to watch out for?

I got a small bite from a street dog last evening. The wound doesn't seem too serious, but I'm a bit worried about rabies. Is it okay to wait a couple of days to get the rabies shots, or should I get them immediately? I'm not sure how urgent it is.
