Drank something I shouldn't have and now I feel sick, will I be ok?
(also posted in the help with life forum but figured i'd post here too since I need answers and am genuinly scared tbh 
Sorry if thats not allowed or something)
Soooooo I did something kinda dumb. Why I did this isn't important, but... I drank saltwater. Now that's not (entirely) the dumb part though. The site said to use 2-3 teaspoons of salt in the glass of water, but, I misread it. ...I used 3 TABLESPOONS instead.
I didn't drink the entire glass, maybe 1/4th or so, half of it at the VERY most, but I nearly vomited instantly. (nearly, didnt actually throw up but almost did.) Since drinking it I've felt very sick but thankfully the stomach pains have been going down slightly, though not entirely. I've also been drinking more, non-salty water in hopes to not get dehydrated and to hopefully dilute the remaining salt a bit. Will I be ok? Is there anything else I can do? When will I feel better?
;v; Sorry for being an idiot

You're fine.
You will go blind in 110 hours.
And how many secoonds?
Eat loads of flour and make some kinda salt cake in your stomach!
Ahhh hey! You'll BE FINE!!! That's just a sort of side-effect from drinking that, I think.
Don't worry too much, you'll be okay!

As long as it's not sea water, you be okay...unless you have poisoned water.

I don't know, but I remember watching that bear grills show and he said not to drink salt water from the sea otherwise it will kill you...somehow. Something to do with salt and the body not having too much but. I don't think you will die however, I'm sure its some stupid amount you have to drink it until it has some real bad effect on you. Assuming that it's clean and not got some type of radioactive waste barrel or corpse in it, it is called the Dead Sea...
.... goodbye world...NOOO NOOO that's ONLY if you have seawater to drink! Like, for sailors stranded out at sea~ Apparently, you had other water so *YOU SHALL STILL SURVIVE*!!

Just drink water til you need to piss and do it again. The danger from drinking salt water is from when you are already dehydrated
This says it all.
Yesh...ty
My dad accidentally drank water with fish tank chemicals once. He was fine. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. I bet the pains will be gone by tomorrow 
... How does one ACCIDENTLY consume that? Glad he's okay though :3 and thank you
Haha, we were cleaning the fish tank, and the new water was in a jug, and he thought it was regular water XD
Thanks And no problem!
