I was bitten by a dog an year ago. I visited the doctor and he said it isn't dangerous and I should get 5 injections. But I only got the 4 of them, well I wasn't very worried about it because I thought It is okay but a few days ago when I shared this story with my fellows. They started to give me weird thoughts like you should've gotten all the injections. Its going to kill you etc and now I am starting to get really worries. Well, should I consult the doctor again and get the last injection or what should I do can you please give me any advive

Female | 17

Dog bites can introduce­ harmful bacteria. All recommende­d injections after a bite are­ crucial. They prevent pote­ntial infections. Missing the last dose raise­s risk for later infection deve­lopment. Your consultation and final injection ensure­ health. Consult your doctor and complete the­ process.

I have a fistula how can I get rid of it She came back to me now a year later She tormented me for six years

Male | 45

Fistula surgeries are carried out by a proctologist or any physician in colorectal surgery. To start, you should call a specialist and visit for a diagnosis of your type of fistula. Missed therapy will lead to bacterial infections that can cause abscess and sepsis and all these could be fatal for the patient.

the best method for tapering off diazepam at the current dosage level of 10mg per day

Male | 69

If you are using diazepam in an amount of ten milligrams a day at this point and you want to taper off, doing so should be done under the supervision of medical personnel. Withdrawal symptoms after sudden diazepam cessation can be quite intense. So gradually, you should decrease your dosage according to prescription by the doctor.

Can I take the tacky and Benadryl together

Female | 18

Don't take Tums and Benadryl together. Tums can help with heartburn or other stomach problems, while Benadryl might be used for itching caused by allergies. However, if both drugs are taken simultaneously it may result in side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness and confusion. For better performance without health risks ensure they have been taken few hours apart.

If you have already got a tetanus and anti-rabies vaccine after the main bite, you should be fine. A second vaccine may not be necessary, but it's important to watch for symptoms like redness, swelling, pain, or fever. If any of these develop, seek medical attention immediately.

Ingrown toenail disease.Pus comes out from inside

Male | 27

The ingrown toenail can be an extremely painful process that takes place when a toenail grows into the skin instead of over it. This may signify an infection if pus is coming out. A visit to a dermatologist will be necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
