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?

I'm a bit worried because I got injured 4 months ago on a rusty iron plate, and I had a tetanus shot then. Now, I've hurt myself again, this time on an iron shutter. Do you think I need to get another tetanus injection? How long does the effect of the shot usually last?

I'm really worried about my 17-year-old sister. She's had a fever for a week now, and the doctors said it's just a normal viral fever. But it's not getting better, so we got her CBC reports done, and it shows her WBC count is low. Why does the WBC count drop in viral infections? Could it be a sign of something more serious?

I got my first vaccine shot on May 5th. I noticed some swelling at the injection site right away, and the pain was manageable for four days. But today, my entire arm is really hurting, and it's become unbearable. I resumed taking my alprazolam today - could this pain be because of that?
