I'm really worried because my flatmate accidentally took sorbitrate instead of her prescribed medicine for a UTI. She's only 22 and is now feeling dizzy. The sorbitrate she took was actually meant for her late grandfather. We're in Delhi North Campus and I'm not sure what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to handle this situation and what steps we should take to ensure she's okay?

View allI accidentally got pricked by an iron object today, and there was some bleeding. I had a tetanus shot back on May 20, 2017. It's been just about four months since then. I'm wondering if I should get another tetanus shot today.
Ideally tatanus toxoid is to be taken within 6 hours of exposure. And once taken, it need not be taken against for 5 years. Since yours is just 4 months, you need not repeat the shot. Just take proper care of the wound.

I'm really worried because I accidentally drank a spoonful of Dettol liquid and now my mouth is on fire. What should I do to treat the burning sensation?
Immediately rinse your mouth with plenty of water to dilute the Dettol liquid; then, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 12 cup of water to create a soothing mouthwash; gargle several times and spit it out; apply a topical pain reliever, like Orajel or Anbesol, to the affected area with a cotton swab

I'm really worried because my friend took 8 sleeping pills last night, which I know is more than the recommended amount, and she's still not waking up. Can you tell me what I should do?
Immediately call emergency services or rush your friend to the nearest hospital, as an overdose of 8 sleeping pills can be life-threatening; provide the hospital with the name and quantity of the pills taken, and try to keep your friend awake and moving until medical help arrives.
