So a couple of days ago, this dog lunged at me and tried to bite, but thankfully my jeans kept me safe. Like, there were no bites or scratches, just some bruising. I had my rabies shots and a tetanus shot back in January, and the doctor at the government hospital said I should be fine. But Im kinda worriedshould I just relax, or do I need to be more cautious?

Question

I'm a bit confused about tetanus shots. If I get one today and then have an injury in the next few days, do I need another injection right away, or am I covered for a bit? Can you help clarify this?

I just ended up taking two dolo 650 tablets by accident, like 15 minutes apart. I tried to vomit right after the second one, but I'm not sure if the tablet came out. Is this something to worry about, or is there anything specific I should do now?

Question

My friend accidentally drank some Dettol liquid. I'm really worried. Can you suggest any home remedies or first aid steps we can try right away?
