What is the healthiest sleeping position?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.

View allI've got a question about tetanus. I got the vaccine a couple of months back, but now I've got this small cut on my finger, and some dirt got in it. There's a bit of blood. Do I need to get another tetanus shot, or am I covered? I'm just a bit worried about it.
If you have had a tetanus vaccine within the last 5 years, you should not need another dose for a minor wound like a small cut on your finger. However, it is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage.

I'm going to the gym and working out for about two hours every day. I'm a bit confused about which multivitamin tablets I should take since they seem necessary. Right now, I'm taking Revital H, but it sometimes upsets my stomach. Could you suggest a multivitamin that covers most of my vitamin and mineral needs?
Revital H is a well known brand of multivitamins which does cover most of the requirements. You can continue to take it, and if you are facing continued gastric complains, you can consider using an antacid (such as RantacOmez). Try to include more protein in your diet to help your gym exercises show better results. Remember to hydrate and rest well.
