I'm really curious about how long a single 0.5 ml dose of tetanus toxoid vaccine would last in someone who hasn't had any tetanus shots before. Like, would it give enough protection if they've never been vaccinated for tetanus? Just trying to understand how effective this dose would be in that situation.

I'm trying to figure out the best way for adults to do deworming and how often it should be done. Should everyone in the family go through this even if nobody's showing any symptoms?

no problem you can take

I'm really struggling with a bad cold and throat pain for the last week. I tried taking cetirizine but it hasn't helped at all. I really need to get better quickly. Can you suggest anything that might work? Honestly, I'm getting a bit worried.

use warm water

I'm feeling a bit uneasy because I've got a slight cold and some throat pain. My oxygen levels range from 95 to 96, and sometimes they go up to 99. Is this something I should be concerned about? I haven't had any fever or other symptoms, but I'm getting anxious, especially with my 9-month-old baby at home. Can you let me know if there's anything I should do or keep an eye on?

no need to worry you are fine
