I'm a bit worried because I cut my hand on a steel utensil a couple of days ago. I remember getting my last tetanus shot about 9 months ago. Do I need to get another one now?

the power of TT lasts for at least 5 years. So you just need to take one booster shot every 5 years. Nothing more than that is ever required. Just take care of the cut so that it doesn't get infected. Apply a t-bact ointment over that.

I just stepped on an iron nail and it pricked my foot. It wasn't a deep wound, just bled a bit. I'm not sure about my past vaccinations. Should I consider getting a tetanus shot now?

I've ended up taking 8 ibuprofen tablets in just 35 minutes because my hip is really sore and I'm having a hard time walking. Now the pain is spreading to my rib, both at the front and back, and it feels like a sharp, jabbing pain. Should I be worried about taking so many tablets in that short time, or is this kind of pain normal?

Phimosis can be treated with either topical steroids or surgery. Topical steroids (e.g., betamethasone) can help stretch the foreskin, but may require repeated applications. Surgery (circumcision or preputioplasty) provides a more permanent solution. Consult a urologist or a pediatric surgeon in Bangalore to determine the best approach for your case. Some recommended hospitals in Bangalore include: Apollo Hospitals Fortis Hospitals Manipal Hospitals
