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 a bit confused about my prescription. My doctor told me to take Nutrolin B capsule, but when I checked online, I couldn't find it. I did find something called Nutrolin B Plus capsule, though. Is it okay if I take that instead? Whats the difference between the two?

Yes, continue same treatment.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been admitted to the hospital with dengue and typhoid, and his platelet count has dropped to 65,000. They're giving him sodium chloride fluids, ciprofloxacin injections, and Caripill three times a day. I'm just wondering, does this sound like the right treatment for his condition? Is there anything else that should be done?

-I'm sorry to hear about your dad's condition. The treatment seems to include standard care for dengue and typhoid, with fluids and antibiotics like ciprofloxacin. However, platelet count should be monitored closely, and other treatments may be necessary
