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?

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 allMy partner took a big breath of deodorant spray by mistake, and now we're both kind of worried about it. Are there any risks we should keep on our radar? Does she need to see a doctor right away, or could it be something that'll just pass?
Deodorants are not to be sprayed inside the nose. .I don't know why anyone would do that. May be you smell a lot. Anyways, there is no real risk here. If she has any symptoms, take her to a doctor near you.

Alright, so yesterday around 1:30 PM, I got the Covid-19 vaccine. Then, a few hours later, I fell off my bike and got some scrapes and bumps on my leg and hand. I went to the closest clinic to get my wounds looked at, and the doctor there told me I should get a tetanus shot within 24 hours. Im wondering, is it really necessary to get it in that exact time frame, or is there some flexibility? Can I get the tetanus shot within 48 hours instead? What should I do?

I accidentally cut my finger on a sharp, rusty piece of iron today. I got a tetanus shot about two years ago, so I'm wondering if I need another one now. The bleeding was minimal and has stopped, but should I be worried about it?
Since you received a tetanus shot 2 years ago, you're likely still protected, but to be safe, consider consulting a doctor, as they may recommend a booster shot if the wound is deep, dirty, or shows signs of infection, and in your case, since the object was rusted, it's essential to monitor the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain.
