I'm really worried about my uncle who's in the hospital right now. He's on a ventilator because he has pneumonia, and it's caused infections in his liver and kidneys. His blood pressure is low and his platelet count is down too. Before this, he was being treated for TB. I just want to know if there's anything we can do to help him recover. Is there anything you could suggest that might improve his condition? It's pretty urgent.

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 accidentally stepped on an iron rod and it pierced my foot. The injury doesn't seem very deep, but I'm worried if I should be thinking about getting a tetanus shot. How soon should I get it if needed?
Considering your perianal abscess has partially drained, it's essential to continue using Shield ointment as directed by your doctor. This ointment helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing . Shield ointment contains a combination of ingredients, including Allantoin, Hydrocortisone, Lidocaine, and Zinc oxide. These ingredients work together to provide relief from pain, itching, and discomfort associated with perianal abscesses . Regarding side effects, Shield ointment is generally well-tolerated. However, some users may experience mild side effects, such as: - *Burning sensation* - *Irritation* - *Itching* - *Redness* Prolonged usage of Shield ointment may lead to skin thinning or adrenal suppression due to the presence of Hydrocortisone . However, this is rare and typically occurs with extended use beyond the recommended duration. To minimize potential side effects, ensure you: - Use Shield ointment as directed by your doctor - Apply a thin layer to the affected area - Avoid using the ointment on open wounds or broken skin - Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application

I just swallowed some chicken bones by accident. It's late at night, and I don't have any bread around. I've tried eating a lot, but I've ended up vomiting five times, and it hasn't helped at all. What should I do? Is it okay to just sleep and see how I feel in the morning, or is there something I should do right now?
It's important not to wait until tomorrow. If you're still feeling discomfort after vomiting, try drinking water or warm liquids to help move the bone along. If you feel pain or difficulty swallowing, consider going to the ER to ensure it's not causing injury or blockage.
