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 allI've had a really bad runny nose for the past six days, and I'm feeling pretty miserable. I heard that taking azithromycin tablets might help with a cold. Do you think it's a good idea for me to try them, or should I consider something else? Is it normal for a cold to last this long?
Take tablet levorid twice a day post meals 1-0-1 for 3 days

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.
