I've recently gotten a cut from a blade about 36 hours ago, and I haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 3 years. Should I get a tetanus injection now? I'm a bit concerned and not sure what to do.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is recommended to get a tetanus injection if you have not had one in the last 3 years. You should get a tetanus toxoid vaccine such as Boostrix or Adacel. The standard dosage for adults is 0.5 mL given intramuscularly.

I was changing a lightbulb and it shattered while I was standing underneath. Now I'm worried I might have breathed in or swallowed a tiny piece of glass. I don't feel any pain or discomfort yet, but I do have a bit of a cough. I'm pretty sure that's just from getting over a cold, though. What should I do?
If you suspect that you may have swallowed or inhaled a piece of glass, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. To help protect your throat and stomach, you can take Sucralfate (Carafate) 1g tablet to form a protective barrier over the injured area. It is important to monitor for any signs of pain, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, or breathing difficulties, and seek immediate medical help if any of these symptoms occur.
