I just swallowed some chicken bones by accident. It's late at night, and I don't have any bread around. I've tried eating a lot, but I've ended up vomiting five times, and it hasn't helped at all. What should I do? Is it okay to just sleep and see how I feel in the morning, or is there something I should do right now?

It's important not to wait until tomorrow. If you're still feeling discomfort after vomiting, try drinking water or warm liquids to help move the bone along. If you feel pain or difficulty swallowing, consider going to the ER to ensure it's not causing injury or blockage.

Got a tetanus shot about 9 months ago because of an injury, but I got hurt again today. Do I have to get another tetanus injection, or am I still covered from the last one?

No, after the initial tetanus vaccination series, a booster shot is only required once every 5-10 years.
