I accidentally ended up swallowing a Bendax400 tablet, which I know is supposed to be chewable. I'm kinda worried now. Could you let me know if that's harmful, and what I should do next?

I recently drank 2 caps of Lizol, and now I'm feeling a burning sensation in my mouth. What could happen to me? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Drinking Lizol (a disinfectant) is dangerous and can cause severe burns to your mouth, throat, and stomach, along with potential organ damage. Please **seek immediate medical attention** to prevent complications, as it is a medical emergency. Avoid inducing vomiting unless directed by a doctor.

I accidentally stepped on an iron rod and it pierced my foot. The injury doesn't seem very deep, but I'm worried if I should be thinking about getting a tetanus shot. How soon should I get it if needed?
Considering your perianal abscess has partially drained, it's essential to continue using Shield ointment as directed by your doctor. This ointment helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing . Shield ointment contains a combination of ingredients, including Allantoin, Hydrocortisone, Lidocaine, and Zinc oxide. These ingredients work together to provide relief from pain, itching, and discomfort associated with perianal abscesses . Regarding side effects, Shield ointment is generally well-tolerated. However, some users may experience mild side effects, such as: - *Burning sensation* - *Irritation* - *Itching* - *Redness* Prolonged usage of Shield ointment may lead to skin thinning or adrenal suppression due to the presence of Hydrocortisone . However, this is rare and typically occurs with extended use beyond the recommended duration. To minimize potential side effects, ensure you: - Use Shield ointment as directed by your doctor - Apply a thin layer to the affected area - Avoid using the ointment on open wounds or broken skin - Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application
