I got a tetanus shot about 36-37 hours after a minor injury. A few people mentioned that it should've been given within 24 hours of getting hurt. I'm worried and not sure what I should do now. Could you advise me on whether I'm still protected or if there's anything else I should be doing?

Can you tell me if it's okay to have golgappa when I've got a sore throat and a cold? I'm worried it might make my throat feel worse. Is it safe, or should I avoid it?
It's best to avoid golgappa during a cold or throat pain. The spicy and cold ingredients can irritate the throat, potentially worsening discomfort or inflammation. It's advisable to stick to soothing, warm foods for better relief.
