I was changing a lightbulb and it shattered while I was standing underneath. Now I'm worried I might have breathed in or swallowed a tiny piece of glass. I don't feel any pain or discomfort yet, but I do have a bit of a cough. I'm pretty sure that's just from getting over a cold, though. What should I do?

If you suspect that you may have swallowed or inhaled a piece of glass, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. To help protect your throat and stomach, you can take Sucralfate (Carafate) 1g tablet to form a protective barrier over the injured area. It is important to monitor for any signs of pain, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, or breathing difficulties, and seek immediate medical help if any of these symptoms occur.

I'm really worried and need some advice. If someone accidentally takes an overdose of sleeping pills, how long does it usually take for them to wake up? Should I be doing something specific to help them, or is it better to let them sleep it off? I would really appreciate any guidance on this.
The time it takes for a person to wake up after an overdose of sleeping pills can vary depending on the specific medication taken, the amount ingested, and individual factors. In general, it is important to seek immediate medical attention in cases of overdose. The treatment may involve administering activated charcoal, providing supportive care, and monitoring vital signs. The specific medication and dosage will determine the appropriate treatment plan.
