Question 1

I got a small cut on my left hand from the corner of my belt's buckle, which is made of steel. It was bleeding a little bit and the cut isnt very deep. The last time I had a tetanus shot was in August 2019, then before that in February 2019, and before that one in August 2018. I havent had any cuts needing a tetanus shot since then. Do I need to get another tetanus shot for this cut? How long do these shots usually protect you? Is getting one tetanus shot a year enough?

Accepted Answer

repeatedly no need anything

Question 2

I'm having a hard time with this cold that's been hanging around for a month now. It seems like every time I take cold medicine, it clears up, but as soon as I stop, it just comes back again. Do you have any suggestions for a good medicine or any advice on what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

Question 3

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?

Continue Azeflo nasal spray 7ml sos for nasal allergy for the patient.

I got a 102.7 fever since yesterday right after I got the vaccine, but my parents and in-laws haven't had any fever at all. Is there a reason why younger people like me might be getting fevers while older folks are feeling fine after the shot? Just trying to understand if this is normal.

Depends on the sensitivity of your body,no need to worry it's natural, take Dolo650 when you have fever and stay hydrated.
