I got hit in the ribs during a fight, and it's been really painful when I laugh, take a deep breath, or even when I cough. I originally thought it might be a broken rib, but it surprisingly doesn't hurt when I touch it or move my torso around. It's been hurting for four days without any sign of getting better; if anything, it feels like it's getting worse. Do you think this could be a serious problem? Should I consider seeing a doctor?

View allI'm really worried because I accidentally drank a spoonful of Dettol liquid and now my mouth is on fire. What should I do to treat the burning sensation?
Immediately rinse your mouth with plenty of water to dilute the Dettol liquid; then, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 12 cup of water to create a soothing mouthwash; gargle several times and spit it out; apply a topical pain reliever, like Orajel or Anbesol, to the affected area with a cotton swab

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 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?
