I accidentally inhaled some diluted Dettol spray and I'm really freaked out about it. It's been a couple of hours now, and while I haven't noticed any side effects yet, I'm still pretty worried. Is there anything specific I should be doing or looking out for?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dettol contains chloroxylenol and other ingredients that, if inhaled in larger quantities, can cause respiratory issues, but you mentioned it was diluted, so the risk is likely lower.While you havent experienced side effects yet, be alert for Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath Coughing or throat irritation Dizziness or lightheadedness Headache or nausea If any of these occur, or if you develop discomfort in your chest or difficulty breathing, you should seek medical attention immediately.

View allI've recently gotten a cut from a blade about 36 hours ago, and I haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 3 years. Should I get a tetanus injection now? I'm a bit concerned and not sure what to do.
It is recommended to get a tetanus injection if you have not had one in the last 3 years. You should get a tetanus toxoid vaccine such as Boostrix or Adacel. The standard dosage for adults is 0.5 mL given intramuscularly.

Accidentally took 1200mg of ibuprofen, is that going to affect me? I weigh around 180lbs. Should I be worried about any side effects?
Taking 1200mg of ibuprofen is above the typical recommended dose (400-600mg), but for your weight, it's not likely to cause serious harm if its a one-time occurrence. However, watch for signs of stomach upset, dizziness, or any unusual symptoms. If you experience anything concerning, contact a healthcare professional right away.
