I'm a bit worried because I accidentally pricked my index finger with a safety pin that wasnt new and it started bleeding a little. I put some Dettol antiseptic on it, but Im concerned if this could lead to tetanus. Is this something I should be worried about?

So, for the past few days, I've been dealing with this cold and fever, and my body keeps shivering. I've already taken some tablets like Cheston Cold and Combiflam, but I don't see any improvement. I'm kinda worried about it. Can you tell me what I should do next?

You can take the same medicine and stay hydrated.

Can I take two Crocin Advance tablets together if I have a really bad headache? Would that be too much, and what should I do if it is?

No you are not supposed to take two tablets at once,if already taken no need to worry once will not cause serious problems,but over dose would cause sever gastritis,liver damage etc.,

I'm just wondering if it's alright to take a head bath with hot water when you have a fever, or maybe the day after if the fever's gone down. It's winter right now, so would that make any difference? I want to make sure I'm doing what's best for my body to recover.

YES you can take hot water bath.dry your hair
