I've had a really bad runny nose for the past six days, and I'm feeling pretty miserable. I heard that taking azithromycin tablets might help with a cold. Do you think it's a good idea for me to try them, or should I consider something else? Is it normal for a cold to last this long?

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?

repeatedly no need anything
