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?

View allI'm noticing that my right chest is smaller than my left one. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned and look into it further? What do you suggest I do about it?
It is not uncommon for one breast to be slightly larger than the other. However, if you notice a significant difference in size between your right and left breasts, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation. Depending on the cause, treatment options may include hormonal therapy or surgical intervention.

I'm a bit concerned about my wife's recent blood test results. Her eosinophil count is 16% and her ESR level is 29. She had a herpes infection two months ago and a food infection about a month before the test. She also took a muscle relaxant nine hours before her fasting blood test. Do these results indicate anything serious? Should we consider getting another blood test after some time?
The elevated eosinophils count and ESR level could be due to the recent infections your wife had. It is known that infections, including herpes and food infections, can cause an increase in eosinophils and ESR levels. Additionally, the muscle relaxant taken before the fasting blood test may have also influenced the results. It is advisable to wait for some time and then repeat the blood test to see if the eosinophils count and ESR level have returned to normal levels. If there are no other concerning symptoms, it is likely that the values will normalize once the infections have resolved and the effects of the muscle relaxant have worn off.

I'm thinking of taking two Zincovit tablets a day, is that okay? Also, when would be the best time to take them? Would appreciate any advice on this.
Feeling and seeing your pulse in your stomach can be unsettling. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Normal variation_: As you mentioned, it's normal to feel a slight pulse in the abdominal area. 2. _Increased abdominal muscle tone_: If you've recently started exercising or have increased your physical activity, your abdominal muscles may be more prominent, making the pulse more visible. 3. _Thin body fat percentage_: If you have a low body fat percentage, your abdominal organs, including the aorta, may be more visible. 4. _Aortic pulse_: The aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart, runs through the abdominal cavity. A strong aortic pulse can be visible in some individuals. _No Need for Concern_ Unless you're experiencing other symptoms like: - Abdominal pain or tenderness - Shortness of breath - Dizziness or lightheadedness - Rapid or irregular heartbeat
