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 kind of worried about a small wound on my finger. I'm not sure if it's from my dog biting or scratching me while we were playing. I even saw a little blood near my dog's nose, which made me start thinking. I read online that rabies symptoms can take 2-3 weeks to show up. Should I be concerned about rabies or get it checked by a doctor?
Since you are unsure if it was a dog bite or scratch, it's important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. To be safe, you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and possible rabies vaccination. In the meantime, you can take a tetanus shot to prevent any infection from developing.

I'm dealing with a cold all week and it's giving me headaches. My nose starts running when I get up early in the morning because the weather is so chilly then. When I take a cold tablet, it seems to help for the rest of the day. But the cold just comes back the next morning. Plus, the sneezing from this is non-stop. Any advice on what I can do to get better?
Would advise you to take steam for a few days , may add vicks in it and take steam 2 to 3 times in a day. And u shud consult to rule out other causes of headache including sinusitis
