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 allI'm really worried after what happened last night I was nearly drowning in a deep pool without realizing it until I almost ran out of breath. I managed to get out with some help, but I swallowed a lot of the pool water. Initially, I was gasping for air but felt okay after about 20-30 minutes. The problem is now I'm shivering, my left arm is aching, and it seems like I'm taking fewer breaths than usual. I'm feeling super tired and looking pale too. Is this something serious, or is it a normal reaction?
Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I just cleaned my bathroom using acid and accidentally inhaled some of the fumes. I'm a bit worried now and wondering if that could harm my health in any way. Could this be something serious or should I just wait it out?
Inhaling fumes from strong acids can irritate your respiratory system and may cause symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, or throat irritation. If you continue to experience symptoms or feel unwell, its important to seek medical attention promptly. Ensure you ventilate the area well and avoid prolonged exposure to fumes in the future.
