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?

I'm dealing with a really annoying dry cough and a blocked nose that's making it impossible to sleep at night. I went to see a doctor, and they gave me some medicines like Doxin to take twice a day, along with some other tablets, but it feels like things are only getting worse. I'm not sure if the meds are supposed to work this way or if I should be worried. Could something else be going on?

I've been experiencing some sharp pain in the upper left side of my chest after sneezing on a flight today. It doesn't hurt more when I take deep breaths, but it's definitely noticeable when I cough or sneeze. I'm wondering if this could be a muscle strain that'll go away on its own, or if there's a chance I've injured my lung or done some other damage. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

I've been getting B12 injections and I've already taken a couple in my buttocks, but they're just too painful. Can I switch to getting the rest in my arm instead, or is it better to stick with the buttocks? If sticking with the buttocks is the way to go, do you have any tips on how to make it hurt less?
