I'm really worried after what happened last night I was nearly drowning in a deep pool without realizing it until I almost ran out of breath. I managed to get out with some help, but I swallowed a lot of the pool water. Initially, I was gasping for air but felt okay after about 20-30 minutes. The problem is now I'm shivering, my left arm is aching, and it seems like I'm taking fewer breaths than usual. I'm feeling super tired and looking pale too. Is this something serious, or is it a normal reaction?

I've already had a tetanus shot three months ago, but just yesterday I accidentally cut myself with a rusty blade. Should I be worried about getting another tetanus injection?

I've recently started trying MDMA after a friend introduced me to it, and while the experience was pretty amazing, I'm dealing with some concerning side effects now. I did two IV injections of 10mg eachone around 10:30 PM and another at 4:30 AM. I tried to stay hydrated, but now the right side of my lower lip is super swollen, and there's this burning feeling on the tip of my tongue with some white patches that seem like dehydration marks. It took me a couple of hours to get home, and once I did, I brushed my teeth, cleaned my tongue, and used Betadine and Listerine mouthwash. I also took Allegra 180, a small ORS Tetra Pack, a B Complex Capsule, and an anti-inflammatory, plus I chewed on some Vitamin C throughout the day. That helped a bit, but the swelling isn't getting better. What should I do about this?

You seems to have suffered from allergic reactions to the drug which you have used. You should stop using that drug in the future because you may develop life threatening allergic reactions. You should consult doctor at the earliest

I accidentally got pricked by an iron object today, and there was some bleeding. I had a tetanus shot back on May 20, 2017. It's been just about four months since then. I'm wondering if I should get another tetanus shot today.

Ideally tatanus toxoid is to be taken within 6 hours of exposure. And once taken, it need not be taken against for 5 years. Since yours is just 4 months, you need not repeat the shot. Just take proper care of the wound.
