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.

Can you help me understand the symptoms of coronavirus? I've had a headache and fever for 23 days. My fever was 100 on the first day, but now it's around 98 or 99. I also have a sore throat. Last week, I took cold showers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I'm not sure if that's why I'm feeling this way or if there's another reason. Could you please advise?
