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?

View allMy 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?
-Your mom can take Dart for fever and Montewok LC for her cold and running nose, as there are no major interactions. However, for her ongoing cough, it's best to consult a doctor to rule out chronic issues like allergies or asthma.

I'm feeling a bit uneasy because I've got a slight cold and some throat pain. My oxygen levels range from 95 to 96, and sometimes they go up to 99. Is this something I should be concerned about? I haven't had any fever or other symptoms, but I'm getting anxious, especially with my 9-month-old baby at home. Can you let me know if there's anything I should do or keep an eye on?
no need to worry you are fine
