Question 1

I've made a mistake and kept some Dettol hygiene liquidthe green kindin my mouth. Now, I can't feel my tongue and it's really sore. My tongue's skin is even peeling off. I'm freaking out a bit and when I went to Sahara Hospital, they told me it'll be fine by morning. I'm still really worried though, can you tell me what I should do? Is there anything else I need to watch out for?

Accepted Answer

Yes no need to worry, just take time,consume plenty of water, it will self resolve.

Question 2

I'm really anxious because I accidentally mixed red Harpic with some floor cleaning acid and then breathed in what tasted like a bitter breath. I found out that Harpic shouldn't be mixed with acid since it can release chlorine gas, but I only realized this after. It's been about 30 minutes since it happened and I don't feel any discomfort yet, but I'm worried since I read online that inhaling chlorine can cause pulmonary edema. I'm trying to get an appointment with a pulmonologist, but nothing's available right now. Do you think I need to see a doctor urgently for this, or is there something I can do right now to prevent any issues? I'm pretty worried, please help me.

Accepted Answer

don't continue

Question 3

I've recently gotten a cut from a blade about 36 hours ago, and I haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 3 years. Should I get a tetanus injection now? I'm a bit concerned and not sure what to do.

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to get a tetanus injection if you have not had one in the last 3 years. You should get a tetanus toxoid vaccine such as Boostrix or Adacel. The standard dosage for adults is 0.5 mL given intramuscularly.

Normal,nothing to worry ok.
