I had a small cut on my thumb from a stainless steel scrubber this morning and it bled a bit. I put a bandage on it, but I'm wondering if I need to get a tetanus shot. The last time I got one was back in February 2017. What should I do?

Question

I'm really concerned because even though I tested negative for COVID on April 12, I'm still feeling awful. My chest feels congested, and there's this constant heaviness in my head. Plus, my legs ache all the time and I feel fatigued throughout the day. I've had an X-ray and a CT scan, and they both show my lungs are clear, but I'm not sure what else could be going on. Could you help me understand what's happening?

Question

I've had a fever that just won't go away for the past four days, and I'm really concerned because the tests showed no malaria or dengue. I'm also dealing with vomiting, a cough, and body shivers. What could be happening, and what should I do next?

Question

My mom's started shivering all of a sudden, but she doesn't have a fever. I'm not sure what could be causing this. Could it be from the cold, or could it be something like an infection instead? Any ideas on what we should do?
