Any idea what's going on or what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

I recommend taking activated charcoal to help absorb any remaining toxins in your system. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antidiarrheal medication like Imodium for your diarrhea. For the chest pain, you can take ibuprofen for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
