I've been dealing with a cold, fever, and body pain for the past two days. I've also been getting frequent headaches and my fever comes and goes. Do you think this is something serious or just a regular flu? What can I do to start feeling better?

Question

Is there anything I should be worried about with my lymphocytes count being a little high at 43? I recently had a blood test done and it showed that my HIV duo test was non-reactive, which I did on March 1st. Right now, I'm taking medication for a fungal infection. I've been having some itching in certain areas, but there are no rashes, although it sometimes turns red after I scratch. Should I be concerned about these changes or is it just the medication working?

Question

I'm kind of worried about whether it's okay to get a tetanus shot every month just to be safe. Could you let me know if that's alright or if there's something I should be concerned about?

Question

I just found out that the Albendazole 400mg tablets I've been taking are supposed to be chewed, but I've been swallowing them whole. I'm on a 3-day treatment and have already done 2 daysdo you think swallowing them instead of chewing will affect how well they work? The doctor didn't mention this, but I read it on the back of the package.
