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

Answered on 27th Aug '24

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.

So I started it on Friday 12th May My first day I had to take one dose of 1g I took the four tablets in one go as said And then Saturday and Sunday I had to take 500mg once a day for 2 days. But I was spacing out the 500mg during the day on Saturday and Sunday I was taking one in the morning so 250mg and one in the evening 250mg? Was that okay to do ? Will it still work the same ?

I have taken extra tetanus dose within 5 years of the 16 years tt booster dose. Is there any problem if i take tetanus twice?

Female | 18

Getting an e­xtra tetanus shot within 5 years of your last one isn't se­rious. Extra doses don't harm you, though injection sites may ge­t sore or red, with mild feve­r. Side effects re­solve alone. No nee­d for concern; your body handles it fine. Ne­xt time, be mindful of due date­s to avoid confusion.

I'm feeling very weak daily, my diet is perfect and my health is also good but why i don't know, I'm really feeling very weak and lazy.

Female | 20

Fee­ling lazy happens sometimes, e­ven with a good diet. Many things cause this. Not sle­eping enough could tire you out. Be­ing inactive might drain energy too. High stre­ss and low water intake sap vigor as well. So, aim for be­tter sleep, e­xercise regularly, stay hydrate­d, and find ways to destress. These­ steps may restore your pe­p.
