I've been dealing with a dry cough for a few days now and have been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you recommend any tablets that might work better?

View allI'm wondering if fasting is necessary for a Vitamin B12 blood test. I had mine done about 3 hours after lunch, and now I'm second-guessing whether that might have affected the results. Should I think about getting it retested?
A Vitamin B12 blood test does not typically require fasting. It is usually safe to have the test done at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate. Since you had the test done 3+ hours after lunch, there is no need for a retest. The results should still provide valuable information about your Vitamin B12 levels.

Cat scratched my wrist, and I'm wondering if I just need to clean it or if there's a chance I need a vaccination. Should I be worried about tetanus or anything else? What should I do next?
It is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. Additionally, it is recommended to apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. In this case, it would be advisable to get a tetanus vaccination if you have not had one in the last 5-10 years. You may also consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice.
