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:

  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.

Ive been prescribed Sumo, but I'm worried because I've heard that Nimesulide can be harmful to the kidneys and liver. I currently have a common cold with a runny nose, a cough, and a slight fever. Should I be concerned about taking this medication?

I've been feeling really off since last year when I had a viral fever around August. While the fever went away, my skin has been feeling unusually hot ever since, like all the time, even though I don't have an actual fever. It's making me feel weak and constantly tired, and it's been going on for over a year. I've seen several doctors but haven't found any relief. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

Usually that's uncommon,check your body temperature with mercury thermometer,if it's normal you can neglect it,stay hydrated and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm dealing with both dengue and typhoid right now, and I've noticed that I have to pee all the time. Is that normal? I had some really high fevers with shivering and chills, but they're a bit better now. It's weird because when I go to the bathroom, it doesn't hurt at all. Could this mean I might have a urinary tract infection, or is there a chance I could be pregnant?

Frequent urination in your case is more likely due to the infections (dengue and typhoid) causing inflammation and irritation in the urinary tract, rather than a UTI or pregnancy; however, to rule out other conditions, consult your healthcare provider, who may recommend a urine test to check for any underlying infections or abnormalities.
