Question 1

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a sore throat and cold symptoms over the past few days. I noticed my oxygen levels dropped from 99 to 95, which got me worried. So I went ahead and got the rt pcr and chest CT scans done. Thankfully, the Covid test came back negative twice and my HRCT thorax looks normal. One odd thing I've picked up is that I have nasal congestion, but my oxygen levels seem to go back to normal when I breathe through my mouth. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Question 2

I'm really curious about how long a single 0.5 ml dose of tetanus toxoid vaccine would last in someone who hasn't had any tetanus shots before. Like, would it give enough protection if they've never been vaccinated for tetanus? Just trying to understand how effective this dose would be in that situation.

Accepted Answer

it is valid for 10 years

Question 3

I got a small cut on my left hand from the corner of my belt's buckle, which is made of steel. It was bleeding a little bit and the cut isnt very deep. The last time I had a tetanus shot was in August 2019, then before that in February 2019, and before that one in August 2018. I havent had any cuts needing a tetanus shot since then. Do I need to get another tetanus shot for this cut? How long do these shots usually protect you? Is getting one tetanus shot a year enough?

Accepted Answer

repeatedly no need anything

I was bitten by a dog that hadn't been vaccinated on August 5th and I got the RabiPure rabies vaccine from a local physician right away. She told me to come back in 7 days for the next dose, but I went to my family doctor instead and found out that I missed the second dose. What should I do now?
