If you have fully completed the ARV program and were given your last vaccine dose less than three months ago then there is no need to take such a vaccination again. But if you have bitten or scratched any animal suspected of having the rabies virus, then immediately consult a physician and go to an infectious diseases specialist for treatment.

Feet swollen on both feet
Female | 44
Swollen feet may signal a heart, liver or kidney problem. Prolonged sitting or standing may also cause swelling. Wearing compression socks, elevating feet, and regular exercise may help reduce swelling. Consult with a doctor if swelling persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.

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.

At the age of 13, a person is still capable of growing taller but to some significant extent it depends on genetics. Healthy growth can be promoted through exercise and an appropriate diet.

Male | 17
Cigarette addiction is strong because of the nicotine that smokes contain. You may be irritable, anxious, and have strong urges to smoke when you try to quit smoking. This is quite natural as your body is used to nicotine. The best strategy for smoking cessation is the aid of family, friends, or even a support group. You could also consult a healthcare provider who would be able to provide you with techniques you could use to quit successfully.

Albendazole is a medicine that usually helps get rid of them. But sometimes you need extra doses to fully banish pinworms. Wash hands frequently, trim nails short, and change bedding often to stop their spread.

Male | 92
It is not easy to estimate a patient's survival days as they vary. It is prudent to look for advice from your grandfather's doctor who is a sub-specialist in nephrology and cardiology. They may give you a more exact status on his condition and sometimes they can also tell you about the possible complications.
