I'm really worried because my wife just swallowed a Karvol Plus capsule with water instead of inhaling the steam through her nose. Now she's experiencing a cooling sensation in her stomach, but luckily, there aren't any other symptoms at the moment. Could there be any side effects from this? What should we do next? Can you please advise?

Accidentally taking Karvol Plus capsules orally instead of inhaling the vapor through steam may cause stomach upset or discomfort due to the camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil ingredients; however, since your wife is only experiencing coolness in the stomach without other severe symptoms, monitor her condition closely and encourage her to drink plenty of water to help flush out the system;

Got a tetanus shot about 9 months ago because of an injury, but I got hurt again today. Do I have to get another tetanus injection, or am I still covered from the last one?
No, after the initial tetanus vaccination series, a booster shot is only required once every 5-10 years.
