My friend accidentally drank some Dettol liquid. I'm really worried. Can you suggest any home remedies or first aid steps we can try right away?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
First, call emergency services or poison control for immediate help. Do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to drink. Rinse mouth with water if conscious. Monitor for difficulty breathing, seizures, or other symptoms. Do not administer any home remedies without professional guidance. Seek medical help immediately.

View allI'm really worried after what happened last night I was nearly drowning in a deep pool without realizing it until I almost ran out of breath. I managed to get out with some help, but I swallowed a lot of the pool water. Initially, I was gasping for air but felt okay after about 20-30 minutes. The problem is now I'm shivering, my left arm is aching, and it seems like I'm taking fewer breaths than usual. I'm feeling super tired and looking pale too. Is this something serious, or is it a normal reaction?
Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I had a small accident and Im worried about tetanus. Is it super important to get the tetanus injection within 25 hours of the injury? What could happen if its a bit later, like after 24 hours?
Administering the tetanus injection within 24-48 hours after an injury is recommended, but it's not a hard and fast rule; if you receive the injection after 24 hours, it's still beneficial in preventing tetanus infection, although the risk of infection increases if the wound is dirty or contaminated, so it's essential to clean and dress the wound properly
