I'm really worried because I've had a fever since last night and I can't take any medicine because I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old daughter. Along with the fever, I'm dealing with a headache and body pain. Can you recommend a mild medication that's safe for me to take?

Lung fibrosis can be a challenging condition to manage. Considering a lung transplant is a significant decision, and it's great that you're exploring options for your father. In India, lung transplants are possible, and several hospitals offer this procedure. One such hospital is the Max Super Speciality Hospital in Delhi, which has a dedicated lung transplant program . Their team of experts includes some of the best lung transplant surgeons in India. To be eligible for a lung transplant, your father will need to meet certain criteria, including: - Severe lung disease diagnosis: A confirmed diagnosis of end-stage lung disease, such as lung fibrosis. - Suitability for surgery: Your father's overall physical condition should be stable enough to withstand the transplant surgery. - Absence of other untreatable conditions: Your father should not have other untreatable medical conditions that could complicate the transplant or recovery process. It's essential to consult with a lung transplant specialist to determine if your father is a suitable candidate for the procedure. Additionally, you can also consider other hospitals in India that offer lung transplant services, such as: - Fortis Hospital in Delhi - Apollo Hospital in Chennai - Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai

Question

I got a small cut on my left hand from the corner of my belt's buckle, which is made of steel. It was bleeding a little bit and the cut isnt very deep. The last time I had a tetanus shot was in August 2019, then before that in February 2019, and before that one in August 2018. I havent had any cuts needing a tetanus shot since then. Do I need to get another tetanus shot for this cut? How long do these shots usually protect you? Is getting one tetanus shot a year enough?
