I had a small accident and Im worried about tetanus. Is it super important to get the tetanus injection within 25 hours of the injury? What could happen if its a bit later, like after 24 hours?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Administering the tetanus injection within 24-48 hours after an injury is recommended, but it's not a hard and fast rule; if you receive the injection after 24 hours, it's still beneficial in preventing tetanus infection, although the risk of infection increases if the wound is dirty or contaminated, so it's essential to clean and dress the wound properly

View allMy partner took a big breath of deodorant spray by mistake, and now we're both kind of worried about it. Are there any risks we should keep on our radar? Does she need to see a doctor right away, or could it be something that'll just pass?
Deodorants are not to be sprayed inside the nose. .I don't know why anyone would do that. May be you smell a lot. Anyways, there is no real risk here. If she has any symptoms, take her to a doctor near you.

I've recently started trying MDMA after a friend introduced me to it, and while the experience was pretty amazing, I'm dealing with some concerning side effects now. I did two IV injections of 10mg eachone around 10:30 PM and another at 4:30 AM. I tried to stay hydrated, but now the right side of my lower lip is super swollen, and there's this burning feeling on the tip of my tongue with some white patches that seem like dehydration marks. It took me a couple of hours to get home, and once I did, I brushed my teeth, cleaned my tongue, and used Betadine and Listerine mouthwash. I also took Allegra 180, a small ORS Tetra Pack, a B Complex Capsule, and an anti-inflammatory, plus I chewed on some Vitamin C throughout the day. That helped a bit, but the swelling isn't getting better. What should I do about this?
You seems to have suffered from allergic reactions to the drug which you have used. You should stop using that drug in the future because you may develop life threatening allergic reactions. You should consult doctor at the earliest

I accidentally cut my finger on a sharp, rusty piece of iron today. I got a tetanus shot about two years ago, so I'm wondering if I need another one now. The bleeding was minimal and has stopped, but should I be worried about it?
Since you received a tetanus shot 2 years ago, you're likely still protected, but to be safe, consider consulting a doctor, as they may recommend a booster shot if the wound is deep, dirty, or shows signs of infection, and in your case, since the object was rusted, it's essential to monitor the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain.
