I'm really worried because my mom just took 1014 pills of anxit 0.5 mg, and I got her to vomit about 45 minutes after she swallowed them. I'm keeping an eye on her vitals and her pulse is roughly 90 bpm. I'm not sure if I should rush her to the hospital or wait it out a bit longer. What do you think I should do?

Given the situation, it's crucial to prioritize your mother's safety, and I strongly advise taking her to the hospital immediately. Although you made her vomit within 4-5 minutes, which is a good initial step, the ingested amount (10-14 pills of 0.5 mg Anxit) can still cause serious harm, including overdose symptoms like drowsiness, confusion, and slowed breathing.

Question

I'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?
