I'm really struggling with a stuffy nose and this annoying cough that switches between wet and dry. Mornings are the worst because theres all this wet cough that's excessive, but come evening and night, my cough gets dry and irritating, especially after 6 pm. Its been like this for the past 5 days and Im not sure what to do. Could you recommend something to help me out?

So, I was playing with my dog and he accidentally scratched my arm with his nail. It's just a bit red, nothing major. Should I think about getting a tetanus shot for this, or am I overreacting?

If the scratch is minor and the redness is slight, a tetanus shot may not be immediately necessary. However, if the scratch is deep or if your tetanus vaccination is not up to date (usually within 5-10 years), its a good idea to consult a doctor to be safe.

I took Tesco Recovery Powder for an upset stomach but forgot it has paracetamol in it. Earlier I had a cocodamol tablet for post-surgery pain about 2-3 hours before. That's 500mg paracetamol around 7:45pm and then 1000mg at 10:15pm. I didn't go over the daily limit but could this combo cause any harm?

To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.
