I just got bitten by a small rat on my left hand, right in the middle finger, and there was a little bit of blood. I did wash my hand, but I'm not sure if I need to take any medication. What should I do to make sure it's treated properly?

View allI just ended up taking two dolo 650 tablets by accident, like 15 minutes apart. I tried to vomit right after the second one, but I'm not sure if the tablet came out. Is this something to worry about, or is there anything specific I should do now?
No you dont have to worry as you vomit after 15 min as paracetamol, it takes half an hour to one hour for absorption. As paracetamol is safest drug Higher doses lead to increasing risk of toxicity .This much amount will not cause any toxicity

I'm really worried because my mom just took 1014 pills of anxit 0.5 mg, and I got her to vomit about 45 minutes after she swallowed them. I'm keeping an eye on her vitals and her pulse is roughly 90 bpm. I'm not sure if I should rush her to the hospital or wait it out a bit longer. What do you think I should do?
Given the situation, it's crucial to prioritize your mother's safety, and I strongly advise taking her to the hospital immediately. Although you made her vomit within 4-5 minutes, which is a good initial step, the ingested amount (10-14 pills of 0.5 mg Anxit) can still cause serious harm, including overdose symptoms like drowsiness, confusion, and slowed breathing.

I'm really worried because he's having neck and ear pain, and now his heart rate is up to 118, and his BP's at 13593. Plus, he's been dealing with a cold and cough since yesterday. Should I be concerned about these symptoms happening all together?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to an upper respiratory tract infection. To address your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen for pain relief and a decongestant like pseudoephedrine for your cold symptoms. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help with congestion. For your cough, you can try a cough syrup containing dextromethorphan. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
