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?

Question

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.

Doc, I just found out I've tested positive for Covid19. I've got a bit of a cold and my temperature's been hovering between 99 to 100 F since the 18th of June. I got tested today because of it. The hospital doctors gave me paracetamol, vitamin CD, and zincovit, but Im wondering if theres anything else I should be doing. Can you help?
