I'm experiencing some pain under my left underarm, and it's really uncomfortable, especially when I sneeze or cough. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it maybe just a muscle strain? What should I do?

Question

My sister got a small cut with a rusty iron sickle. I'm kind of worried if she needs to get a tetanus shot. The last time she had one was on December 1, 2020, which is over six months ago. The wound is really minor, just a tiny bit of blood when we pressed it, and we cleaned it with Dettol and water. Do you think she should get the injection?

Question

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and it's measuring at 146 over 95. I'm starting to get a bit worried this might be a sign of hypertension. Should I be considering medication to get it under control, or would it be better to consult with a general physician first to figure out the best course of action?

I'm really worried about the side effects of taking Paracetamol 500 mg, and I don't want to take it unless I really need to. Could you let me know at what temperature in Fahrenheit should I consider taking it? I'm trying to be cautious about it.
