I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed a spoonful of Dettol liquid. I'm not sure what kind of damage this can cause and how urgently I should get to a hospital. Is it really serious, and what symptoms should I be looking out for?

Dettol liquid can be harmful and may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and irritation of the mouth and throat. In severe cases, it can lead to chemical burns, difficulty breathing, and damage to internal organs. If someone has ingested Dettol liquid, it is important to seek medical help immediately. The person should go to the hospital as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment. The healthcare provider may need to perform certain interventions to prevent further complications.

I'm really worried because someone close to me accidentally inhaled a large amount of Domex bathroom cleaner. Since then, they've been having trouble breathing and can't stop coughing. What should we do? Is there anything specific that can help right now?
may be suffering from chemical inhalation injury. It is important to seek immediate medical help. In the meantime, you can administer oxygen therapy if available and ensure the patient is in a well-ventilated area. The patient may require bronchodilators such as Salbutamol for breathing difficulties and cough suppressants such as Dextromethorphan to help with the cough. Additionally, corticosteroids like Prednisone may be prescribed to reduce inflammation in the airways. Please seek urgent medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment.
