I'm having some pretty bad chest pain that seems to get worse whenever I eat or breathe deeply, and it's right in the middle of my chest. I recently used nitrous oxide whippits, and I'm worried it might be related. Could this be a side effect or something more serious? What should I do?

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 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.
