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 trying to understand how I should take albendazole for deworming as an adult. Do I just need a single dose, or is it better to take two doses? And if it's two doses, how many days apart should I take them?

To take albendazole for deworming in adults, you typically only need a single dose. The usual recommended dosage for albendazole in adults is 400mg as a single dose. It is important to take the medication at night, preferably with food, to increase its absorption and effectiveness. Remember to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you have any specific health conditions or concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

yes you can take it no problem

I'm feeling a bit feverish on and off for the last three days, even though when I check my temperature, it's normal, around 96 to 98. I've also been taking antioxidants and multivitamins for a month now. Could there be a connection, or should I be worried about something else going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing intermittent fever episodes despite having a normal body temperature reading. This could be due to various reasons such as underlying infections or inflammatory conditions. Since you have been taking antioxidants and multivitamins for a month without improvement, I recommend you consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible testing
