Question 1

I'm wondering about how long the protection lasts from tetanus toxoid shots. I never got the tetanus vaccination as a kid, but I did get 24 tetanus toxoid shots over two years, in 2016 and 2017. Is that level of vaccination enough to keep me protected, or should I consider getting another shot? Whats the typical duration of protection in cases like mine?

Accepted Answer

Meftal Spas tablets contain a combination of mefenamic acid (pain reliever) and dicyclomine (antispasmodic).

For stone pain (likely kidney stones), Meftal Spas might help alleviate:

1. Pain
2. Spasms

However, consult your doctor or a urologist before taking Meftal Spas for stone pain, as:

1. Correct diagnosis is essential
2. Stone size, location, and type may require specific treatment
3. Other medications or treatments might be more effective

Follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as directed.

Question 2

I'm having a tough time with my night shifts at work, and it feels like my request to change shifts isn't being heard. I'm wondering if there's a way a doctor could provide a medical certificate to support my case. Do you think it's possible for a doctor to help me with this?

Accepted Answer

no

Question 3

I'm a bit worried about my body temperature. It usually stays around 98 to 98.7 in the morning but goes up to 99 by late afternoon, then drops back to 98.7 around 9 pm and stays there. It's been like this since April 10. For a couple of days in between, my temperature didn't go above 98.7. I haven't taken any meds for fever. Could this be something like typhoid or malaria? I haven't been able to get a blood test because of the whole corona situation. What do you think might be going on?

Accepted Answer

sometimes dueto hormonal changes also there's is change in temperature. Drink plenty of water and avoid stress as much as you can
