Do I Need Rabies Vaccine After Cat Scratch?

Dear Sir / Mam, On Saturday evening my cat scratch on my hand it bleeds but last seven months ago I have already vaccinated myself should I retake rabies vaccine this time.

Answered on 9th July '24

If a cat started to bite you and there is an exposure, remember that it's so important to immediately wash it with water and soap and after that call the doctor. If the wound looks like it's getting infected, not only to run a rabies test would be safer but also for the welfare of other's rabies treatments might be needed. On the other hand, you may not need to retake the rabies vaccine, but still it is better to keep watching the wound and ask for medical advice if necessary.

I am a 19 year old female, I have noticed some discoloration in my hand finger nails the tip is red rest of the nail is white, I searched on google and it says that it might be an indication of heart Or kidney disease, in the past I have suffered from kidney infection and nothing more though I have heard from other doctors that I have less blood in my body, I feel perfectly healthy, but I'm worried about what may be going on, what should I do? What could it be?

Female | 19

It doesn't necessarily mean you have a specific condition. The red tip and white base on your fingernails may be caused by factors such as trauma, nail biting, or even normal variation in nail pigmentation. Regarding your past kidney infection and having less blood in your body, its best to discuss these concerns with your doctor.

I have constant constipation even tho I take fibrous foods. This makes me pass a lot of gas and have bloating. What should I do please?

Female | 18

Constipation can be caused by a number of factors, including a lack of fiber and water in the diet, as well as a sedentary lifestyle. However, if you are already consuming a fibrous diet and still experiencing constipation, it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. As a medical expert, I advise you to visit a gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. They will be able to recommend a suitable treatment plan to address your issue.

I can't sleep well I just sleep for 2 3 hours

Female | 17

You might be experiencing difficulty in sleeping. Sleeping only for 2-3 hours is not enough. Do you feel tired, irritable, or have difficulty concentrating during the day? It may be due to stress, caffeine, or electronic devices before going to bed. Try relaxation before bedtime, reducing caffeine intake, and creating a comfortable sleeping space.
