I'm dealing with a cold and sore throat, and on top of that, my nose is blocked and there's some congestion too. Can you recommend some medicine that would be safe for me to take, especially since I'm a breastfeeding mom to a one-year-old?

Is it okay to get a tetanus shot in the buttock? I got one there and now it's hurting. I'm kind of worried because I read online that getting it in the buttock isn't recommended. Why did the nurse say it was less painful and more effective there? Can you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about getting a tetanus shot just a month after I've had my COVID vaccine. Is it safe to do so? Will it cause any adverse effects or affect how well my COVID vaccine works?
