So, if a pet dog bit someone and the dog was given a Nobivac Rabies vaccination just five months ago, is getting a TT injection going to be enough for the bite? Should there be any additional precautions or steps we should take? Also, is there anything specific we should keep an eye on after the bite?

In addition to the TT (Tetanus Toxoid) injection, it is recommended to also administer the rabies vaccine after a dog bite, especially if the dog's rabies vaccination status is not known or if it has been more than 5 months since the dog was vaccinated with Nobivac Rabies. The rabies vaccine helps prevent the development of rabies infection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

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?
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.

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
