Inhaled Toluene Vapours: Precautionary Measures for Artists
I'm little concerned about exposure to pure toluene. I think I accidentally inhaled toluene vapours while working with it on solvents. Although nothing seems to be affected, but what precautionary measure should I take now? I don't huff toluene or inhale intentionally for addiction. But, I work with toluene as an artist to restore damaged brushes or wipe of paints

Toluene exposure can cause dizziness, headaches, and lightheadedness. Move to a well-ventilated area when using it and wear a protective mask. If you feel unwell, go outside for fresh air immediately.

A calf Bitten by 3 dogs before 1.5 months ago.and no rabies symptoms are shown in past 1.5 month in the calf. Yesterday I mistakenly wash my mouth with the same water which the calf drinked water.Is there any chances of rabies.
Male | 22
If a calf did not show any rabies symptoms in the past month and a half after being bitten by a dog, it is unlikely to have rabies. Some of the symptoms of rabies in animals are burrowing in the mouth, changes in behavior, and slow swallowing. By your mistake to rinse your mouth with that same water, you have the least possibility of getting rabies. It is significant that you take care of and properly clean any wounds. If some symptoms occur like fever, pain, or difficulty swallowing, consult a doctor.

I’m having trouble with bed wetting I’ve told my doctor but she told me I’m fine
Male | 21
Bed wetting happens when someone pees in bed during sleep, mainly at night. It's called nocturnal enuresis. For kids, it's normal, but adults can experience it too. Reasons include bladder problems, hormone imbalances, or family history. To deal with it, try drinking less before bedtime. Use nightlights. Speak to a doctor if it's a big issue.

Chest problem for 1month please ask me a good medicine
Male | 14
You've had chest issues for a month. That's difficult. Coughing, tightness, pain, breathing problems - those are chest problem signs. Pneumonia, a lung infection, could be why. See a doctor for antibiotics to get better. Rest, drink liquids, use a humidifier - those help too.

Hi , I am 20 years old . I got a second degree burn on my finger four days ago and I have a burn blister no larger than my finger nail . I have a exam coming up soon and the blister affects my ability to write. Can I pop it and cleanse the area while applying a bandage?
Male | 20
No I won't recommend you do that as it can increase the infection. You can just let it recover on its own or use a sterile bandage to protect the blister and reduce friction. If the it bursts on its own, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with a sterile bandage.
