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.

Female | 24
The injection may ache temporarily since needles can hurt muscles a bit. This discomfort typically resolves itself in days. Icing or gentle massage may help. However, consult a doctor if aches persist extensively.

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.

Kya kaner ka ek fal khane se death ho sakti he
महिला | 23
No, I suppose that one accidentally eating a piece of a kaner (oleander) fruit is not very likely to kill. Yet, it is a very poisonous plant and any of its parts will cause very severe symptoms e.g. vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal heartbeat, or even death. If you or somebody associated with you accidentally partakes in the substance of the plant kaner, then first aid treatment is a must. Please see a gastroenterologist or go to the emergency room as early as possible.

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.
