I accidentally took 9 Crocin tablets all at once. I'm really worried about what might happen. Can you please tell me what the possible side effects or risks might be?

Taking 9 tablets of Crocin (Paracetamol) at once can lead to an overdose of the medication. The side effects of an overdose of Crocin may include liver damage, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can lead to liver failure. It is important to seek medical help immediately if an overdose is suspected. The usual recommended dosage of Crocin is 1-2 tablets (500mg each) every 4-6 hours, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours for adults.

So, my pet dog just bit me on my right foot near the ankle back on May 11, 2019. Do you think I need an anti-rabies shot for this? And if so, any idea how much that might cost? Just mentioning that we got our dog vaccinated around 7 years ago.

Yes you have to take complete course of vaccination which would be 4 doses when given intradermal route,visit your physician for appropriate approach.

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?

Your husband's symptoms, such as cough, chest tightness, and continuous burping, are likely due to inhalation of toxic fumes from the bleach and tile cleaner mixture; while his oxygen levels are normal, it's essential to monitor his condition closely and seek medical attention immediately if symptoms worsen or if he experiences difficulty breathing, severe headache, or dizziness; consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.

I just stepped on an iron nail and it pricked my foot. It wasn't a deep wound, just bled a bit. I'm not sure about my past vaccinations. Should I consider getting a tetanus shot now?
