In a scenario where you stroke an unvaccinated dog that might have rabies, there is still only a minor risk of getting infected. The virus Rabies attacks the human brain and can be lethal when untreated. It is huffy, headache, and fear of water that are its symptoms. In such a case, scrub the wound with soap and water and consult with a physician.

Bukhar napte hai to nai rahta hai par dinbhar bukhar jaisa hi lagta hai
Male | 22
A low-grade fever involves feeling feverish without significantly elevated body temperature. Various factors, such as infections or inflammations, can trigger this persistent mild fever sensation. Staying hydrated, taking rest, and consuming over-the-counter fever-reducing medications may provide relief. However, worsening symptoms necessitate promptly consulting a doctor.

Feeling thirsty even after drinking water? This might be due to lingering dehydration. Your body needs enough fluids to function well. Signs include dry mouth, tiredness, and dark urine. If you're still thirsty, try drinking electrolyte beverages or eating juicy fruits and veggies to stay hydrated. Also, cut back on caffeine and alcohol, as they can dehydrate you.
