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.

View allI'm really concerned about my sister. She was just diagnosed with dengue yesterday, and it was her first day of having a fever. The doctor prescribed pcm and pan, but her fever hasn't come down at all. Her temperature is stuck at 104.6, and her platelet count is 2 lakhs. Should I be worried? Also, any suggestions on what she can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that might be suitable for her? She's 30 years old and currently experiencing full body pain, saying her body is burning. I'm really anxious since she hasn't eaten anything yet. Is there something I can do to help her feel better? And is it okay to give her solo again now since I gave her some at 9 pm last night?

I've got this sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of my chest, but it only happens when I sleep on my left side. If I sleep on my right, there's no pain. It just started last night. I've also got a mild flu going on but no fever, and my stomach seems okay even though I have these on and off digestion issues like irritable bowel. Should I be worried about this chest pain, or is it likely linked to the flu or something else?

I'm feeling kind of anxious because I've got mild COVID symptoms, and I have both Azithromycin and paracetamol at home. Is it safe to take them together? Could there be any risks?
Yes, you can take Azithromycin and paracetamol together for mild symptoms of COVID-19. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that can help with any bacterial infections that may be present, while paracetamol can help reduce fever and relieve pain. The usual dosage for Azithromycin is 500mg once daily for 3 days, and for paracetamol, the usual dosage is 500mg to 1000mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
