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 really worried because my mom has a 100-degree fever since 4 PM. She took Meftal Forte, but it's been three hours and it hasn't gone down. I'm wondering if she can take Dolo 500 or 650 now. What should I do?

Since the fever hasn't come down after Meftal Forte, you can give her Dolo 500 mg. However, it's important to monitor her condition closely. If the fever persists or worsens, consider seeking medical attention to rule out any underlying infections.

I'm really worried about my mom who just tested positive for COVID yesterday with a ct value of 16. She's been having a dry cough and had a fever a couple of days ago. Our family doctor has prescribed some medicine, and her oxygen level has been steady at 99 throughout today. Should we stick with the current meds, or is it better to see another doctor for her COVID treatment?

continue the medicine, no need to consult a doctor

I'm covid negative now, but I was experiencing mild symptoms. It's been about 4 days since my quarantine ended, and I'm feeling better. However, my nose is still blocked. Is it okay for me to use a Vicks inhaler to help with this?
