Despite the puppy having obtained one dose of vaccine and your kid getting the vaccine of the previous year, it is still better to visit a doctor. They can perform bites and give any treatment or further injections which are needed. The best doctors in case of rabies issues would be infectious disease specialists or pediatricians.

Doctor mujhe nind nhi aati hai rat bhar aur daily headache hota rahta hai mai kya karu doctor I am very tensed in my problem solve please suggest me
Female | 21
You seem to struggle with sleep, experiencing frequent headaches. Insufficient rest can trigger such headaches. The solution lies in relaxing before bedtime. Screens like phones and televisions should be avoided, and a soothing routine established. Ensure your room is dark and quiet. However, if the issue persists, seeking professional assistance is advisable.

Is it normal after getting stitches 37 minutes ago in the lip for small drops or amounts of blood to leak thru
Male | 16
It is normal to have some drops of blood leaking when you use stitches to hold your lips. In the event of persisting or heavy bleeding, your regular doctor or an oral surgeon deserves a visit for further evaluation and treatment.

I was bit by 2 month old puppy should I worry about rabbies
Male | 25
Puppies under two months rarely carry the rabies virus. Don't worry if one nipped you. Watch the bite area for infection signs, redness, or swelling. Clean the wound thoroughly with soap, and water; put antiseptic too. Keep it clean always. If fever, headaches, fatigue occurs - consult a doctor promptly.

Body weakness, last period was September 20-23. Took pregnancy test and was negative, took a blood test and it was negative.
Female | 20
If you experienced body weakness and your last period was on the 20th – 23rd of September, while pregnancy tests were negative then maybe it speaks about another condition. A thorough checkup and diagnosis should be undertaken by a gynecologist. They will identify the source of your symptoms and offer treatment.

Hey, im 15 but one of my cats recently got sick and died, it was 34 days ago, i live in Tennessee kingsport, the cat recently doed and foamed at the mouth but 2 days before death he was drinking water and climbed into the water bowl, my grandother said it was because he was poisoned, shes seen poisoned cats before, amd ive not fwlt good for 5 weeks but my aunt said it was probably covid, shes a nurse and she asked a bunch if her doctor friends if they thought i had it and she said they laughed, so i can rule out rabies right? My indoor cat has been acting somewhat odd and he ate something feom me, but i only have 2 ranies symptoms that can also be caused by covid, fatigue and enlarged eyes, please give me good news, thank you
Female | 15
The foaming mouth sounds bad. Cats don't get rabies if they're inside. Poison may cause foaming. You should take your cat to the vet, to check what's wrong. I'm glad you're being careful about your health. If you feel unwell, you should see a doctor too. It's smart to be safe about illness.

I can't sleep well I just sleep for 2 3 hours
Female | 17
You might be experiencing difficulty in sleeping. Sleeping only for 2-3 hours is not enough. Do you feel tired, irritable, or have difficulty concentrating during the day? It may be due to stress, caffeine, or electronic devices before going to bed. Try relaxation before bedtime, reducing caffeine intake, and creating a comfortable sleeping space.

I would suggest you seek the assistance of a gynecologist to address your period abnormalities. It is not advisable to lose weight in 15 days and it is detrimental to health. Healthy weight loss involves adopting a balanced diet and partaking in regular physical activities.

Dear Sir / Mam, On Saturday evening my cat scratch on my hand it bleeds but last seven months ago I have already vaccinated myself should I retake rabies vaccine this time.
Male | 24
If a cat started to bite you and there is an exposure, remember that it's so important to immediately wash it with water and soap and after that call the doctor. If the wound looks like it's getting infected, not only to run a rabies test would be safer but also for the welfare of other's rabies treatments might be needed. On the other hand, you may not need to retake the rabies vaccine, but still it is better to keep watching the wound and ask for medical advice if necessary.

I had bppv since last week from 18'th Feb 2024 diagnosed by a doctor and was prescribed vertin 10 mg took it for 5 days still had slight dizziness so he increased my doze to vertin 16 I have been taking it from past 2 days and now have no signs or symptoms of bppv should I continue taking vertin 16 ?
Female | 17
It is advised to consult your doctor before continuing any medication. Vertin 16 mg is a higher dose compared to Vertin 10 mg and should be taken only after consultation with a specialist. An ENT specialist has to be consulted for the same, which he will give a proper examination for and prescribe the medicine accordingly.

I have a head wou.d and it's been glued just want to know if I can put my head on a pillow to go to sleep
Male | 30
Sleep with your head elevated above the heart level a bit to prevent opening up the wound again. Sleeping in an elevated position will prevent the swelling. You should go back to the doctor who diagnosed your head wound and follows his guidance on its treatment. In case of new symptoms or relapses, the doctor may make a referral to a neurologist or plastic surgeon for specialized care.

suffered chicken guneya 2 months ago..got treatment & relieved ..now again symptoms of chickenguneya been observed.
Male | 25
It is possible that a second episode can occur if you are still weak. The indications comprise fever, joint pain, muscle pain, headache, nausea, and rash. The primary source is getting bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus. Instead, to aid in easing the conditions, it is necessary to slow down, drink enough fluids, and use painkillers. In case the symptoms are getting worse, or last for a longer time, please get medical treatment.
