Question 1

I was cleaning my bathroom with Clorox bleach spray and kind of went overboard with it. Now, for the last 4 hours, all I can smell is bleach. I even took a nap hoping I'd get better, but when I woke up, I still smelled the bleach. Then, out of nowhere, I got these really bad lower abdominal pains and ended up vomiting an hour later. My stomach doesn't hurt as much now, but it's still uncomfortable. Should I be worried and maybe go to the emergency room, or is it better to just try and relax until it passes?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms of severe lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and prolonged exposure to bleach fumes, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These symptoms could indicate chemical exposure and potential irritation or damage to your gastrointestinal tract. I recommend going to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can take activated charcoal to help absorb any remaining toxins in your stomach. The usual dosage for activated charcoal is 25-100 grams for adults.

After completing an H. pylori treatment, it is important to follow a specific diet to prevent stomach upset and loose motions. You should follow a bland diet that includes easily digestible foods. Here are some dietary recommendations: - Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day - Consume foods that are low in fat and fiber - Include foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet) - Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated - Avoid spicy, greasy, and fried foods - Limit or avoid dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol - Avoid eating outside or in places where food hygiene may be compromised

For delayed periods, weight gain, acne, and hair fall, consider Ayurvedic treatments like:

- Shatavari or Ashoka for hormonal balance
- Triphala for digestive health and weight management
- Neem or Turmeric for acne and skin issues
- Bhringaraj or Amla for hair fall

Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance. Homeopathic remedies like Pulsatilla or Sepia may also be helpful, but consult a homeopathic doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
