I'm dealing with worms and it's been bothering me for a bit now. I'm also breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe to take medication for the worms while I'm feeding? I'm just really worried about any possible effects on my baby.

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the last 10 days, and I'm really not sure what's going on. Could you recommend a good cough syrup that I can easily find at the pharmacy? I'm getting a bit worried since it's been going on for a while now.

For your persistent cough, I recommend taking Benadryl Cough Syrup. You can take 10ml of Benadryl Cough Syrup three times a day after meals. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions on the label.

I've been having a regular cough and it's really putting a lot of stress on my chest. My throat feels sore, and my nose just won't stop running. I already tried taking Cheston Cold but it hasn't helped at all. Can you suggest what might be causing this or if there's anything else I should try?

So, I was playing with my dog and he accidentally scratched my arm with his nail. It's just a bit red, nothing major. Should I think about getting a tetanus shot for this, or am I overreacting?

If the scratch is minor and the redness is slight, a tetanus shot may not be immediately necessary. However, if the scratch is deep or if your tetanus vaccination is not up to date (usually within 5-10 years), its a good idea to consult a doctor to be safe.
