Is Taking Tetanus Shot Twice Within 5 Years Harmful?

Patient's Query

I have taken extra tetanus dose within 5 years of the 16 years tt booster dose. Is there any problem if i take tetanus twice?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Getting an e­xtra tetanus shot within 5 years of your last one isn't se­rious. Extra doses don't harm you, though injection sites may ge­t sore or red, with mild feve­r. Side effects re­solve alone. No nee­d for concern; your body handles it fine. Ne­xt time, be mindful of due date­s to avoid confusion.

Male | 25

Your body reacts to some­ foods, leading to neck, shoulder, waist and spinal cord pain. That's a sign of food se­nsitivities. Feeling drips afte­r peeing suggests bladde­r irritation. Noting foods eaten before­ symptoms occur can reveal triggers. Consulting a doctor he­lps identify causes and solutions.

A strange lady hugged me and she has tb would I get infected . I had my mask on and I'm so worried

Female | 22

If you were wearing a mask, it's good protection. TB is not as simple as that which is particularly followed by a brief hug. Coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fever are the main symptoms. It spreads through the air, thus, masking is the smart thing to do.

Female | 45

You may have reacted to the Dolo tablet you took. Sometimes, some individuals can be afflicted by such side effects as feeling cold, numbness in their head, or tingling feelings. The symptoms you are experiencing may well be due to an allergic reaction. You should stop taking the medication immediately and consult a doctor for assistance. They will be able to diagnose what is causing the problem and give you the necessary treatment options.

You may have an infection in your body part. The germs can get into your body and cause sickness and you will suffer. Your sleep may be deep, and the pain may be unmanageable that you might even experience. Proper cleanliness and careful look after the area are the most important things. If necessary, you can take some medicine to help your body get rid of the infection. So be sure to take rest besides drinking plenty of water.

Hello. I'm 18, Male, 169cm, 59kg. Today I saw and felt this small lump right on my sternum. I don't smoke nor drink and don't have any current medications. It doesn't hurt and it's actually hard, just like any bone, you can't move it or anything. What might it be? cause I've been pretty scared and worried.

Male | 18

A small, hard lump on the sternum could be a normal bone anatomy, benign or malignant tumors, cysts, lipomas, or inflammation of the chest cartilage. Consult with a specialist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized guidance. They can perform an examination and order additional tests if needed.
