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.

Hey, I've had a fever for the past four days and I've been taking Zanocin, Paracetamol, PanD, and AtoZ. Can you help me figure out how to get better? I'm really concerned about this.

Continue taking the prescribed medications (Zanocin, Paracetamol, Pan-D, AtoZ) as directed by your doctor, and consider the following additional measures to help manage your fever: drink plenty of fluids, rest adequately, use a cool compress or take a cool bath to reduce body temperature, and monitor your temperature regularly; if your fever persists or worsens, consult your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm looking at my blood report and I'm seeing a few things out of range, like my total leucocytes are at 3.83 which seems low, and my neutrophils are 34.9 and there's something going on with my lymphocytes at 56.7. Also, my basophils and monocytes' absolute counts are not within the normal range. I've also noticed that the mean corpuscular hemoglobin and the MCHC are a bit off. I had a fever not too long ago and still have mucus in my throat. I'm starting to worry because I read that these symptoms could be related to typhoid. Do you think it's possible that I have typhoid, or is there something else going on?

I'm really worried about some calf pain I've been having in both legs. It's been bothering me for a while now, and on top of that, I've had this cold for almost a month and even though I've been getting treatment, it doesn't seem to be going away. Could the cold or the meds be causing the leg pain, or is it something else entirely?

Thta could be electrolyte imbalance or calcium deficiency.get those tested and visit Physician for appropriate management
