I'm really worried because I accidentally drank some Colin while cleaning glass, and now I'm vomiting. We're in a village and can't get to a doctor right away. Are there any home remedies you can suggest to help with this?

- Stomach upset
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
Precautions:
- Follow recommended serving size: Stick to the recommended serving size (1 Solo packet per 1 liter of water).
- Space out consumption: Drink Solos at intervals, rather than consuming multiple packets at once.
- Monitor electrolyte levels: If you have concerns about electrolyte imbalance, consult your doctor or a healthcare professional.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain proper hydration.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my husband accidentally mixed bleach with a tile cleaner while cleaning the bathroom, and it caused a really strong smell. He left the bathroom and cleaned it again after about ten minutes, but since then, he's been coughing a bit and feeling some chest tightness. He also can't stop burping. He drank some Electral afterward, and his oxygen levels seem normal at 98. Should I be worried about this? What should we do next?
Your husband's symptoms, such as cough, chest tightness, and continuous burping, are likely due to inhalation of toxic fumes from the bleach and tile cleaner mixture; while his oxygen levels are normal, it's essential to monitor his condition closely and seek medical attention immediately if symptoms worsen or if he experiences difficulty breathing, severe headache, or dizziness; consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.

What could cause someone to pass away if they were laying on their side in the recovery position with blood that had come from their mouth and coagulated on the floor, and had a greyish skin color with a deep purple bruise on their forehead or cheek? I noticed they were told to start compressions until the ambulance arrived, but when I tried to roll them, they barely moved. I'm really concerned, and I'm trying to understand what might have happened.
Based on the description, possible causes of death could include cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, or a severe head injury, potentially caused by a fall or blunt trauma, which may have resulted in the observed bruise and stiffness in the body; other potential causes could include a pulmonary embolism, stroke, or an aneurysm, but a thorough investigation, including an autopsy and toxicology report, would be necessary to determine the exact cause of death.
