I got a tetanus shot about 36-37 hours after a minor injury. A few people mentioned that it should've been given within 24 hours of getting hurt. I'm worried and not sure what I should do now. Could you advise me on whether I'm still protected or if there's anything else I should be doing?

I've been taking ascoril syrup lately, and every time I use it, I get this shivering feeling throughout my body. When I checked my Fitbit, it showed my resting heart rate shot up to 108, whereas my usual resting heart rate is around 75. Do you think I should stop taking this medicine?
Yes you have to stop using it and visit physician for alternate medicine.
