I'm feeling pretty confused and a bit worried about this pain I've got going on. It started in my arms and now it's spread to my neck and shoulders. I'm not sure who I should reach out to firstshould I go to a general physician, a pain specialist, a physiotherapist, or an orthopedist? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Deworming medications are usually recommended for children and people living in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. However, if you're an adult looking to deworm, here are some common medications:

Albendazole (Zentel): A common deworming medication for adults. Meclizine (Decaris): Another deworming medication for adults. Mebendazole (Vermox): Also used for deworming in adults.

However, before taking any medication:

Consult a doctor: To determine if deworming is necessary and to discuss potential side effects.

Check for contraindications: Ensure you don't have any medical conditions that may interact with the medication.

Follow the recommended dosage: Adhere to the prescribed dosage and treatment duration.

My sister got a small cut with a rusty iron sickle. I'm kind of worried if she needs to get a tetanus shot. The last time she had one was on December 1, 2020, which is over six months ago. The wound is really minor, just a tiny bit of blood when we pressed it, and we cleaned it with Dettol and water. Do you think she should get the injection?

-Yes, your sister should get a tetanus booster shot since its been more than 3 years since her last one, and the wound involved a rusted iron sickle. Youve done well by cleaning it with Dettol, but a booster will ensure full protection.

I've been dealing with COVID for about ten days, and thankfully most of the symptoms are gone, but I still have this annoying itch in my throat. Its making me uncomfortable. Could you recommend something to help soothe this throat irritation?

You can try using lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol to help soothe the throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing phenol or glycerin to help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to stay hydrated and gargle with warm salt water to further alleviate the discomfort.
