I got a tetanus toxoid shot on January 18 because I cut my finger on a bus. Just today, I cut my toe on something small on the road. Do I need to get another tetanus injection or am I still covered?

Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a few days and recently had a fever that went up to around 100.5F. It only lasted for a bit and went down after taking pcm. My doctor suggested a blood test and it turns out my ESR is at 40, though my hemoglobin and platelet count are normal. I'm confused and a bit worried about why my ESR is high. The doctor told me to take azithromycin for 5 days. Is there something serious going on with this high ESR?

It's indicates infection... Continue with antibiotic course
