I'm really concerned about my wife. About three weeks ago, she got an injection in her left hip at an authorized hospital because she was having stomach pain. Just yesterday, she noticed a lump at the injection site. There's not a lot of pain, but she does feel a little bit when it's pressed. I'm worried about what could be causing this lump and if it's something we should be concerned about. Is there anything I should do?

The lump at the injection site on your wife's left hip could be due to an inflammatory reaction, infection, abscess, or granuloma formation, and although it's likely a benign complication, it's essential to consult the doctor who administered the injection or visit the hospital's emergency department to rule out any serious infections or adverse reactions, and ensure proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I got injured 4 months ago on a rusty iron plate, and I had a tetanus shot then. Now, I've hurt myself again, this time on an iron shutter. Do you think I need to get another tetanus injection? How long does the effect of the shot usually last?

take vaccine

I'm really concerned because she's been dealing with a sore throat and severe cold for five days now. Its still really bad. She's been taking Acemiz both day and night. Could you please give us some advice on what to do next?

For her symptoms, I recommend adding an over-the-counter medication like Strepsils for sore throat relief. Additionally, she can take Sinarest for cold symptoms. Make sure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest. If her symptoms persist or worsen, she should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
