I took Tesco Recovery Powder for an upset stomach but forgot it has paracetamol in it. Earlier I had a cocodamol tablet for post-surgery pain about 2-3 hours before. That's 500mg paracetamol around 7:45pm and then 1000mg at 10:15pm. I didn't go over the daily limit but could this combo cause any harm?

However, by 6, I still had body pain and fever, so I took Meftal Forte. Someone mentioned to me that taking Meftal Forte was not a good idea. Fortunately, most of my symptoms are gone now, just a slight ache remains. Could you please let me know if it was okay to take Meftal Forte in this situation? I'm feeling a bit worried about it.

Taking Meftal Forte (a combination of mefenamic acid and paracetamol) after Dolo (paracetamol) is generally not recommended due to the increased risk of adverse effects, such as stomach ulcers and bleeding; however, since you've already taken it and your symptoms have resolved

I got a tetanus shot about 36-37 hours after a minor injury. A few people mentioned that it should've been given within 24 hours of getting hurt. I'm worried and not sure what I should do now. Could you advise me on whether I'm still protected or if there's anything else I should be doing?

still effective even if it's administered lately
