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 going to the gym and working out for about two hours every day. I'm a bit confused about which multivitamin tablets I should take since they seem necessary. Right now, I'm taking Revital H, but it sometimes upsets my stomach. Could you suggest a multivitamin that covers most of my vitamin and mineral needs?

Revital H is a well known brand of multivitamins which does cover most of the requirements. You can continue to take it, and if you are facing continued gastric complains, you can consider using an antacid (such as RantacOmez). Try to include more protein in your diet to help your gym exercises show better results. Remember to hydrate and rest well.

I'm really worried because I've been getting a high fever and shivering every 12 hours. Every time I take paracetamol, the fever and shivering go away for a while, but then it just comes back. I recently took a COVID test and it was negative. Why do I keep getting this intermittent fever? After taking paracetamol, I always end up sweating, and then the fever goes down. What could be causing this?

I'm just wondering, how many Meftal Forte tablets can I take during COVID? My doctor suggested I take them twice daily for three days along with antibiotics and a PPI. He recommended Meftal Forte instead of Dolo 650, and I don't have any other symptoms except a fever. After those three days, is it okay to take Meftal Forte on an as-needed basis?

yes ,continue all the medications as advised..
