Can Rabies Virus Be Contracted from a Rabid Dog's Drool on the Road Surface?

A rabid dog was found and taken in captive from the IIT Bombay campus on 16th of March. We visited the campus on 24th March, where my three year old daughter fell down on the street and got a minor scratch on her knee which was covered with her pant. Now is there a possibility that she can get rabies from the virus that could have been on the road surface from the drooling of the animal?

Answered on 23rd May '24

The probability of her catching rabies from a scratch on her knee which occurred because of a fall on the road pavement is very low. While it is advised to consult a pediatrician whenever you have any questions about your child`s health.

What's the relation between burps and fever

Female | 34

Burping and fever are generally not directly linked, but they can sometimes occur together due to certain conditions. Burping is the release of stomach gas through the mouth, often caused by factors like eating habits. Fever, on the other hand, is an elevated body temperature usually caused by infections or illnesses.

I am suffering from fever for 6 days which medicine should I take.

Male | 42

It is necessary to identify the underlying cause of the fever. Fevers are a clear indication of your body fighting an infection. Frequent causes of it are a cold, flu, or, in rare cases, a disease caused by a bacterium. To help relieve fever take acetaminophen or ibuprofen just make sure that you have an adult who is supervising you. Never forget to drink lots of fluids and sleep. If your fever does not go away or you start experiencing other new symptoms, seek medical help.

Male | 21

It will be good to avoid heavy or sugary foods like hot rasagulla. Follow a BRAT diet: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. Drink plenty of fluids and consider plain boiled chicken and cooked vegetables. Avoid spicy, fried, and dairy foods. Stay hydrated and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

Do i need to get revaccination if a vaccinated dog against rabies bit me under span of 5 months , i was already vaccinated.

Male | 23

Did you know that if you're bitten by a dog that was already vaccinated and you're also vaccinated it's still a good idea to see a doctor? Rabies virus is a fatal virus that can also be spread through biting, but it is rare. In case you didn't know, always get a revaccination because it might still be enough for your safety. You can have a fever, headache, and be disoriented when rabies strikes. In such a situation, visit a healthcare provider.

Im Ace, just wanna know if sleeping late affect my height

Male | 14

Your height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which close in late adolescence or early adulthood. So staying up late occasionally won't have a significant impact on your height. Young people are recommended to get an adequate amount of sleep for their age (7-9 hours) to support overall well being during their growing years.

Female | 20

The symptoms that you are experiencing can be because of many reasons so I advise you to visit a doctor in person for understanding the exact cause. These symptoms can also be the result of your anxiety. So, it would  be of great help if  you consulted a counsellor for managing your anxiety. You can also try meditation and breathing exercises to lower your stress and anxiety.

Female | 76

Taking two doses of Twinrab 1500/2.5 simultaneously is not advisable. There is a need to stay within the therapeutic range as directed by your doctor to prevent any side effects. If you have anything about your immunization plan, please go to an experienced doctor preferably a medical specialist of infectious diseases.

Respected Dr sahab I suffered laziness and tiredness every time but I taken satvit plus co q forte not batter. My sugar, thyroid, vitamin D and vitamin b12 all are ok. pl suggest

Male | 45

If your sugar, thyroid, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 are all normal, then the Satvit Plus Co Q Forte may not be the best choice for you. It is possible that you are just feeling tired due to a lack of sleep or stress. Consider getting more sleep, exercising regularly, and reducing stress. In addition, make sure you are eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods. Finally, if you are still feeling tired, consider talking to your doctor about other potential causes and treatments.

Does high TSH mean cancer?

Male | 45

A high TSH level indicates a thyroid function problem, not cancer. It means your thyroid gland isn't producing enough hormones and this is a condition known as hypothyroidism. The usual approach is medication to help with thyroid function

I am 21 year old and I got fever yesterday night. Still today I have fever and joint pain. In last week, I visited to some place where I thought I came into contact with Mosquito. Kindly tell me what to do and what are the things that I need to eat.

Male | 21

You may have caught a mosquito-borne virus. These viruses can result in fever and joint pain. One of the well-known viruses is dengue fever. Rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and take acetaminophen for the fever. Consume light and nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, and soups that have been cleared. If the condition worsens or severe symptoms are experienced, the person should immediately seek medical help.

Hello doctor, I was injured through blade, on the 11 October timing around 3 PM, i forgot to take tatnus shot, today in the morning I taken shot of tetnus, I think I had been more than 30 hours of little injury, did I delayed to taken tetnus shot? As of now I don't have any symptoms. If I delayed then now what should I do?

Male | 27

Tetanus can take place if bacteria invade the injured area. Even if you took it a bit late, it's not too late to fix that. Symptoms such as muscle stiffness and spasms may show up. Don't forget to look for this. Now that you've got the vaccination, you're safe. Keep an eye on your wound and if you notice something strange or feel sick, it's a good idea to call your doctor.

Hows long does the Cyp3a4 enzyme stay inhibited after taking your last 500mg pill of clarithromycin.

Male | 21

The Cyp3a4 enzyme may stay inhibited for up to three days after taking your last 500mg pill of clarithromycin. But this can vary based on individual factors such as age, weight, and overall health. If you have concerns about the effects of clarithromycin on your Cyp3a4 enzyme, I recommend to consult a gastroenterologist for further advice.
