I got hit in the ribs during a fight, and it's been really painful when I laugh, take a deep breath, or even when I cough. I originally thought it might be a broken rib, but it surprisingly doesn't hurt when I touch it or move my torso around. It's been hurting for four days without any sign of getting better; if anything, it feels like it's getting worse. Do you think this could be a serious problem? Should I consider seeing a doctor?

View allI swallowed a small amount of betadine gargle by accident. Should I be worried or is it nothing to be concerned about?
Accidentally swallowing a small amount of Betadine (povidone-iodine) gargle is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it may cause temporary gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, due to its high iodine content

My partner took a big breath of deodorant spray by mistake, and now we're both kind of worried about it. Are there any risks we should keep on our radar? Does she need to see a doctor right away, or could it be something that'll just pass?
Deodorants are not to be sprayed inside the nose. .I don't know why anyone would do that. May be you smell a lot. Anyways, there is no real risk here. If she has any symptoms, take her to a doctor near you.

I'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.
