I'm really worried because my roommate has been dealing with swine flu for the past couple of days. What steps should I take to protect myself? Is there a specific vaccine that's recommended?

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I've had a low-grade fever for the past five days, fluctuating between 97.7 in the morning to 99.6 in the evening, along with a mild heavy feeling in my head. The head issue seems to have gotten better in the last two days, and I've reduced my Dolo 650 intake to once in the evening. I used to take it twice a day before. I don't have any other symptomsmy taste is fine, no breathing issues, and my appetite is good. Could this be something serious like COVID? I'm feeling really tense about it and would appreciate some guidance.

I'm feeling pretty miserable with a cold and fever for the past couple of days. The cold symptoms are really intense, and although I only felt the fever internally yesterday, things seem to be getting worse. What should I do about this? Is there anything specific I should be worried about, or any remedies youd recommend to help me feel better?

-Sorry to hear you're feeling unwell! It sounds like the cold is hitting you harder than the fever. Make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and consider steam inhalation or a saline nasal spray for relief. If it worsens, dont hesitate to see a doctor.

I'm a bit worried because right after getting a tetanus shot, I ended up masturbating. I'm wondering if that could have any impact on the effectiveness of the tetanus vaccine, like does it make the medicine leave my body faster or something?

no
