Question

I'm dealing with a cold that's been lingering for about five days now. I've been using Alerid syrup but havent felt any better. Do you think Hicet syrup would be a better option to help with this?

Don't self-medicate with Nexpro 40 without consulting your doctor again. Recurring gas problems may indicate an underlying issue, such as:

  1. Acid reflux
  2. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
  3. Food intolerance
  4. Gut motility issues

Chest pain on both sides, even if mild, can be related to:

  1. Gas and acid reflux
  2. Musculoskeletal issues
  3. Anxiety or stress
  4. Underlying cardiac conditions (rare, but possible)

Question

I recently cut my finger with a new razor blade, and while there wasnt any rust or soil on it, the wound did bleed. I put some Dettol on it, and now it's healed up, but I havent had a tetanus shot in over five years. Should I get the injection right away, or is it okay if I wait a bit?
