Seek Medical Advice for Dog Bite Response
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

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.

Bleeding from the mouth is concerning for kids, possibly indicating internal injury. It may occur when upside down or scrapping. Don't let them eat or drink. Gently rinse their mouth with water. Persistent bleeding beyond ten minutes requires medical attention immediately. A doctor must examine to rule out serious issues.

Hi I Need suggestion Yesterday mom had put rice for sun drying. monkey came and ate bit. so half part she threw and half today she washed and put for sun drying. my kid has eaten bit raw rice from it in noon. is it ok or should I get her some vaccine?
Female | 7
Consuming uncooked rice isn't ideal, but stay calm. It might have bacteria or toxins, leading to tummy troubles. Watch for signs like stomachache, throwing up, or loose poop. If any occur, consult a doctor for guidance. For now, ensure she drinks lots of water and relaxes.

I feel dizziness and nausea followed by small burning sensation in chest and small pain
Male | 25
Feeling dizzy, nauseous with a little burn in your chest, and some pain might mean you have acid reflux. This happens when your stomach acid goes back up into your food pipe. Eat small meals, avoid spicy foods, and don't lie down right after eating. Also, try not to eat too close to bedtime. Drink water and eat slowly.

can doctors tell you when the infection started in test results such as chlamydia?
Male | 19
It's impossible for a doctor to know if you got infected on a certain day through a test result for chlamydia. He or she just can inform you if you have the infection at the moment. If you suspect chlamydia infection, call on a gynecologist or a urologist, who will assign needed tests, diagnose, and give proper treatment.

Irritation, infection, excessive scratching, or picking might cause it. Keep it clean and dry. Use mild soap and water for gentle cleaning. But if bleeding persists, or you notice pus or foul odor, seek medical help immediately.

I'm 54 years 6months old I'm having fever and cold since 10days and dizziness too Iam taking nurofen but it's not working what can I do?
Male | 54
A long fever, accompanied by a cold and dizziness, could be either through a viral infection or other health problems. Although Nurofen can relieve the discomfort associated with the condition, it is crucial to follow additional measures such as drinking plenty of water, maintaining rest, and using saline nasal sprays. If you still don't feel good or even worse, please pay a visit to a physician.

I want to give paint killer to my son of 17yrs as an hour b4 he has taken paracetamol can I give him movera 15mg
Male | 17
Movera is a pain relieving medication. However, taking both medications close together might not be safe. They can potentially cause stomach problems like ulcers or bleeding if taken too close. It's better to wait a few hours before administering Movera. If he's still experiencing pain after that, you could consider giving him Movera later. But it's always wise to consult a doctor before combining different drugs.

If stray dog licks my food I eat that food after one hour and also I have a ulcer in mouth is there chances of getting rabies
Male | 23
Stray dogs don't spread rabies through food. Rabies is tough to catch, even if an infected dog licks food you later eat. Having a mouth ulcer won't raise your risk. Still, watch for fever, headache, and muscle aches - signs you'll need prompt medical attention. Chances are extremely low.

Fever and cold nose drops
Female | 20
Cold, runny-nosed, run-down, and with a sore throat: often is accompanied by fever. The most frequent reasons for this are viral infections, allergies, or exposure to irritants. Together with adequate hydration, rest, and OTC drugs, such as antipyretics, fever medications, and throat soothers, you can manage discomfort. Besides that, if you use humidifiers, you will relieve the nasal congestion. If the fever does not subside within a few days, or if severe symptoms occur, I suggest that you to consult a general physician.
