I've just taken about 100 ml of cough syrup, which means I've had 300 mg of dextromethorphan and 4000 mg of Guaifenesin. Is that dose okay, or should I be worried about any side effects or risks with that amount?

View allI'm a bit worried because I cut my hand on a steel utensil a couple of days ago. I remember getting my last tetanus shot about 9 months ago. Do I need to get another one now?
the power of TT lasts for at least 5 years. So you just need to take one booster shot every 5 years. Nothing more than that is ever required. Just take care of the cut so that it doesn't get infected. Apply a t-bact ointment over that.

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.
