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 dealing with a throat infection and my doctor suggested I take Zedocef 200. After a couple of days, I'm now experiencing a pretty bad headache that just won't go away. I tried taking Disprine today but it didn't really help. The headache seems to be focused right at the top center of my head. Could you recommend something that might help?

I'm looking at my Widal test results and I'm a bit confused. It mentions Salmonella typhi O at 140 dilutions, Salmonella typhi H at 120 dilutions, and similarly for Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh at 120 dilutions. Is this indicating a typhoid infection? Also, what kind of diet should I follow if it is? I could really use some guidance here.
The Widal test report you have provided shows positive results for Salmonella typhi O at 1:40 dilution and Salmonella typhi H at 1:20 dilution, indicating a possible typhoid fever infection. The presence of these antibodies suggests exposure to the bacteria causing typhoid fever. To treat typhoid fever, antibiotics are usually prescribed. In this case, you can take a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin. A diet rich in fluids, including water, broth, and oral rehydration solutions, is recommended. You can also include soft, bland foods such as boiled vegetables, rice, and yogurt. Avoid spicy, fried, and heavy foods that may irritate your stomach. Remember to rest adequately and follow your doctor's advice for a full recovery.

I've been taking ascoril syrup lately, and every time I use it, I get this shivering feeling throughout my body. When I checked my Fitbit, it showed my resting heart rate shot up to 108, whereas my usual resting heart rate is around 75. Do you think I should stop taking this medicine?
Yes you have to stop using it and visit physician for alternate medicine.
