I've been dealing with a cold and cough for about a week now, and it's progressed to having chest congestion and a lot of mucus. I even vomited once. Should I be worried about this? What's going on with my body?

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?
