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 getting a bit worried because my body temperature tends to climb up to 99-100 degrees F in the evenings, and this has been happening for a few weeks now. Alongside this, I feel some tiredness in my limbs. I did some blood tests for CBC, Dengue, and Typhoid, but everything came back normal. What's making me anxious is that I've noticed my immunity seems to be lower lately since I'm catching the flu and other infections more frequently in the last few months. Any insights on what might be going on with me?
Since your blood tests for CBC, Dengue, and Typhoid came back normal, it's important to consider other possibilities. Your symptoms could be indicative of a chronic infection or an underlying inflammatory condition. Given your recurrent infections and fatigue, I would recommend considering a consultation with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter multivitamins to support your immune system. Additionally, you can take a daily dose of Vitamin C (1000mg) and Zinc (25-50mg) to help boost your immunity. Adequate rest, hydration, and a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables can also help support your immune system.

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'm wondering if it's okay to smoke weed the day after getting MMR and meningococcal vaccines. If not, how long should I wait before smoking? Also, I'm planning to get varicella, Tdap, and hepatitis B vaccinations soon. Should I be extra cautious about smoking after these shots?
There is no such relation between them but its better to avoid smoking atlesst for a week
