I've already had a tetanus shot three months ago, but just yesterday I accidentally cut myself with a rusty blade. Should I be worried about getting another tetanus injection?

I was wondering what would happen if air got injected into an artery instead of a vein by mistake with a regular syringe. Is it something I should be worried about?

What would happen if someone took 10 Dolo 650mg tablets all at once? Is it really dangerous enough to cause death, and what other side effects should I be worried about?

Taking 10 Dolo 650 mg tablets (total 6,500 mg of paracetamol) at once is very dangerous and potentially life-threatening. Here's what happens: 🚨 Why It's Dangerous: Liver Toxicity: Paracetamol in high doses overwhelms the liver, leading to acute liver failure. Fatal Dose: A single dose above 7,000–10,000 mg can be lethal, especially without treatment. āš ļø Symptoms to Watch For: First 24 hours: Nausea, vomiting Sweating, general discomfort Pale skin 24–72 hours: Liver damage signs begin: right upper belly pain, dark urine, yellowing skin (jaundice) 72–96 hours: Peak liver failure: confusion, bleeding, low blood sugar, coma or death šŸ†˜ What to Do: Immediate ER visit is critical. Activated charcoal may be given early. Antidote: N-acetylcysteine (NAC), most effective within 8 hours of overdose. Bottom line: Yes, taking 10 tablets is potentially deadly. Immediate medical attention can save life and liver. Never delay if overdose is suspected.
