And one more question can eat nonveg during vaccination and can I take alcohol after complet course .and how many days to take alochol after vaccine

Answered on 23rd May '24

you should follow your doctor advise but if you are worried, you can have a second opinion also. Rabies can be fatal, and prompt treatment is crucial. So it is advisable to avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours after completing the full course of vaccinations.

I stapled my thumb at work on Friday. (Preschool classroom, the staples had briefly fallen on the floor prior). It was in there pretty well. I pulled it out, it did bleed, I cleaned it out with soapy water and then 50% isopropyl alcohol. I have not gotten a tetanus vaccine booster in the last 10 years. I have a doctor appointment on Monday. If I have been exposed to tetanus, will it be too late for me to get a booster? What are the chances I could have it now?

Female | 34

I urge you to see a doctor immediately. Tetanus toxoid is required to be administered within 5 days of injury like the one you have to prevent the disease. It is hard to say if the person gets tetanus or not without biomedical proof. You need to see a doctor who is a specialist in infectious diseases.

I used Vicks vapopatches that I bought from the store because I was having trouble breathing and right when I used one i immediately felt an on again off again cold sensation and then also burnning feeling and then back to cold in my chest followed by a Pulse fainting dramatically and hadn't gotten any better... Is THIS normal? If so how can I make it better? Or is it life threatening?

Female | 28

This is concerning. This could indicate an alle­rgic response. Discontinue using the­ patches immediately. If symptoms pe­rsist or worsen, seek me­dical attention promptly. To alleviate discomfort, try ge­ntly cleansing the affecte­d area with cool water and applying a mild, soothing lotion.

I'm suffering from fever since 2 days with body ache, headache and Little cough. I think I've catched cold but it might be some other reason. I've taken 3 paracetamol tablets in last two days. I feel much better today but symptoms still exist. Please help with that. Recommend medicines and other non medical care.

Female | 20

Many people­ have viral infections. They make­ your body feel hot, achy, and bad. Your head hurts. You cough. Taking me­dicine like paracetamol he­lps the fever go away. But the­ other problems stay because­ the virus needs time­ to leave. Resting and drinking lots of wate­r are important. Honey might help your cough. If you don't fe­el better soon, or worsens, se­e a doctor.

Accidentally swallowing a cool lip pouch or similar small object is generally not a cause for major concern. Your body should naturally pass it through the digestive system.
