I got a wound on my foot from a bike accident. It's not too deep, but it's really giving me trouble when I try to move around. Plus, there's pain and swelling in that area. Could you take a look and let me know what I should do about it?

Apply the RICE principle to manage the wound and symptoms: Rest the affected area, Ice it for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day, to reduce swelling, Compress the area with a bandage, and Elevate your foot above the level of your heart to reduce swelling; additionally, keep the wound clean and dry

View allI'm really worried because my mom has a 100-degree fever since 4 PM. She took Meftal Forte, but it's been three hours and it hasn't gone down. I'm wondering if she can take Dolo 500 or 650 now. What should I do?
Since the fever hasn't come down after Meftal Forte, you can give her Dolo 500 mg. However, it's important to monitor her condition closely. If the fever persists or worsens, consider seeking medical attention to rule out any underlying infections.

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?
