I got a tetanus toxoid shot last September, but I just cut myself on some rusted iron today. Should I be worried about needing another dose?

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.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. I've had a bad cough for the past three days - it's been paired with a cold and sneezing. My temperature seems normal though. The thing is, I'm about to travel and I need some kind of remedy that can help in the next 12 hours or so. I plan to see a physician after that, but I really need some relief until then. Any advice you could give would be great.

It sounds like youre dealing with a common cold or viral infection. For the next 12 hours, try staying hydrated, taking a pain reliever like paracetamol if needed, and using a saline nasal spray for relief from congestion. If the symptoms persist, definitely consult a physician once you're able. Safe travels!
