Hello,

You had been cleaning black mold, presently you are experiencing headache, muscle spasms, vomiting and abdominal pain. You are suggested to clean your hands and have a warm shower. Rinse your mouth with warm water and gargle with salt in warm water 2-3 times a day. Take care of your hygiene, change all your clothes from inside out and change the bed sheets and curtains of your house. Take acetaminophen, one SOS after food to ease headache and muscle spasms. You can take baclofen, one SOS, it effectively reduces muscle spasms.

Take antiemetics to stop vomiting. If vomiting is not stopping you can visit ER, you may need injection to stops vomiting. Stay well hydrated to maintain the body electrolyte system so that muscle spasms get reduced. Take ORS and plain water. Take antacids and PPIs to avoid acid reflux and formation of gas. Antispasmodics, one SOS effectively reduces abdominal pain. Take rest, symptoms should get reduced. If not, visit ER, you may need urgent medical aid.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
