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've been dealing with both dengue and typhoid last month, so now I'm really concerned about recovering fully. What kind of precautions or symptoms should I be looking out for going forward to ensure I get back to feeling healthy? I'd appreciate any advice you could share!

It's important to focus on rebuilding your immunity and strength after recovering from dengue and typhoid. Ensure a balanced diet rich in vitamins and proteins, stay hydrated, and get adequate rest.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm always fighting this weird cycle. I start feeling feverish with a mild fever and all achy after 6 pm most days, even though my mornings are perfectly fine. It's like after I eat, this sickness just settles in. I've been dealing with this on and off for about two years now. It lets up for a few months and then comes right back. I've had tests done like CBC, ESR, typhoid, and even checked for vitamin D, but nothing's showing up. I'm curious and kinda worried about why this keeps happening. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
