Hello, if my mother had got a tetanus toxoid booster (the one we get at medical stores) on Jan 25, 2026, does she need to take another booster if she got a wound after falling on dusty ground and rupturing her toe today since it's within 6 months ? She is 83 plus and I am not sure if she got primary series of tetanus in her childhood days.
Since last 1 week I am having acidity, gas and burning sensation in stomach..
Please guide and suggest some medicine...

Why do people believe that rice is not good during cold and coughs? In my house generally during viral cough cold and runny nose, rice is being avoided.
I am a male seeking an evidence-based assessment of whether my HIV testing is conclusive considering PEP, a second exposure during PEP, and current HIV testing guidelines. Timeline: Possible exposure → started PEP (Vonaday: Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Efavirenz) ~36 hrs later → one dose delayed ~12 hrs on day 3 due to switching dosing time → completed 28 days → second possible exposure occurred 9 days before finishing PEP (PEP not extended). Tests: Negative 4th-gen HIV at 8, 20, 55 days post-PEP; negative quantitative HIV PCR at 20 days post-PEP; negative 4th-gen at 93 days, 183 days, and 9 months after last exposure; negative qualitative HIV PCR at 9 months. Are these results conclusive despite PEP and the second exposure? Does the delayed dose or second exposure change interpretation? Does the PCR testing add reassurance? Is any further HIV testing recommended?
