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?

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:
- Pain
- Spasms
However, consult your doctor or a urologist before taking Meftal Spas for stone pain, as:
- Correct diagnosis is essential
- Stone size, location, and type may require specific treatment
- Other medications or treatments might be more effective
Follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as directed.

I'm dealing with a really bad cold and sore throat, and I've just started feeling a bit of chest pain. I'm wondering if it's safe to inhale steam with Karvol Plus added, through my mouth. Do you think that could help, or should I be worried about any side effects?
It's not recommended to inhale Karvol Plus steam water directly through your mouth, as it may irritate your throat. Instead, inhale the steam through your nose, allowing it to gently soothe your congestion and sore throat. If you're experiencing chest pain, it's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.
