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 have pressure in my ears
Female | 31
Having your ears feel pressurized is uncomfortable. Ear pressure comes from colds, allergies, sinus infections, or altitude changes. You're on an airplane, and everything feels blocked up. To ease pressure, try these tricks: yawning, chewing gum, holding your nose and swallowing gently. But if pressure persists or worsens, see an ENT specialist promptly.

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.
