I'm really worried after what happened last night I was nearly drowning in a deep pool without realizing it until I almost ran out of breath. I managed to get out with some help, but I swallowed a lot of the pool water. Initially, I was gasping for air but felt okay after about 20-30 minutes. The problem is now I'm shivering, my left arm is aching, and it seems like I'm taking fewer breaths than usual. I'm feeling super tired and looking pale too. Is this something serious, or is it a normal reaction?

I accidentally cut my finger on a sharp, rusty piece of iron today. I got a tetanus shot about two years ago, so I'm wondering if I need another one now. The bleeding was minimal and has stopped, but should I be worried about it?
Since you received a tetanus shot 2 years ago, you're likely still protected, but to be safe, consider consulting a doctor, as they may recommend a booster shot if the wound is deep, dirty, or shows signs of infection, and in your case, since the object was rusted, it's essential to monitor the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain.

I had a small accident and Im worried about tetanus. Is it super important to get the tetanus injection within 25 hours of the injury? What could happen if its a bit later, like after 24 hours?
Administering the tetanus injection within 24-48 hours after an injury is recommended, but it's not a hard and fast rule; if you receive the injection after 24 hours, it's still beneficial in preventing tetanus infection, although the risk of infection increases if the wound is dirty or contaminated, so it's essential to clean and dress the wound properly
