Sharp pain near incision after hot tea, why?
This could be a case of surgical site infection. Usually, this happens after surgery where there is an incision made thereby causing redness as well as swelling around where you were cut. It might help if you keep that place dry after cleaning it every once in a while but try not to touch too much or else there might be more pain. Make sure to visit your doctor so they can figure out what else needs to be done about this.

Do I need two tetanus shots for blade cuts?
Tetanus is a serious infection caused by bacteria that may enter the body through wounds. Perhaps your friend was cut twice by a blade but only got one tetanus shot. Therefore, there's a risk of tetanus developing in the other cut. One tetanus shot may not be sufficient for two cuts. Tetanus symptoms usually include muscle stiffness and trouble swallowing. As a precaution, your friend should visit a doctor again and get a second tetanus shot for the other cut.

Should I Worry About Numbness After Treatment?
Numbness in the treated area is normal after surgery. This may be because the medicine used in the process has some temporary effect on the nerves. Apart from this, you may have a tingling or pins and needles sensation. Usually, this numbness heals by itself as your body recovers. If the numbness symptom lasts for a long time or increases, you should notify your doctor.

Is bump on back after tetanus shot concerning?
I understand you’re worried about the bump at the site of your tetanus shot. It’s normal to have a bump there, and it might take some time to heal. Your immune system is reacting to the vaccine as if it were a foreign substance. If there’s no pain or redness, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just be patient, and the bump should go away on its own. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek medical advice.

Why do I have a new lump after surgery?
A hernia is when an organ comes out of a hole in the muscle, making a bump and hurting you. After the surgery, it frequently occurs. The recommendation is to consult your physician without delay. Your doctor might also propose surgery if the hernia is not corrected. Do not lift heavy stuff or strain your belly as it may worsen the hernia during this period.
