I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a sore throat and cold symptoms over the past few days. I noticed my oxygen levels dropped from 99 to 95, which got me worried. So I went ahead and got the rt pcr and chest CT scans done. Thankfully, the Covid test came back negative twice and my HRCT thorax looks normal. One odd thing I've picked up is that I have nasal congestion, but my oxygen levels seem to go back to normal when I breathe through my mouth. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Question

My mom's come down with a cold, runny nose, and a fever. I have some Dart and Montewok LC at home and I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take both. Are there any issues or side effects we should watch out for? She's also been dealing with a persistent cough for a few months now. Should I be concerned or consider something else for her?

Question

I'm really curious about how long a single 0.5 ml dose of tetanus toxoid vaccine would last in someone who hasn't had any tetanus shots before. Like, would it give enough protection if they've never been vaccinated for tetanus? Just trying to understand how effective this dose would be in that situation.
