View allI'm really concerned because I had a fever in the morning, and after I took some medicine, it went away. But then it came back again in the afternoon and at night. Is this normal, or should I be worried about this recurring fever? Would you suggest anything different I should try or maybe a specific kind of medicine?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fever. To help manage your symptoms, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed to reduce the fever. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

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?
check your blood pressure for 3-4 times for next week. if still high then consult your physician

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?
-Yes, your sister should get a tetanus booster shot since its been more than 3 years since her last one, and the wound involved a rusted iron sickle. Youve done well by cleaning it with Dettol, but a booster will ensure full protection.
