Dog Licked Me, Past Rabies Shots Expired: What to Do?

So back in January 13, while I was preparing for my best friend's birthday, the stray dog owned by one of our neighbors, came up to near me and almost licked me had I not looked behind my back and stopped the dog. But that's how I remember it, I am worried that I remembered it wrong, and the dog licked me. But before all that, I had taken 2 anti rabies booster shots back in January 9 and 12 respectively at an animal bite center since I already had the post exposure shots back in 2019. However, the nurse where I got the post exposure shots told me the shots expired already since it was only good for 5 years, and that I need to redo them. Which do I follow here?

Answered on 28th Aug '24

Rabies is a se­rious virus illness transmitted by saliva from animals through bites or licks. It cause­s fever, headache­s, and abnormal behaviors. Since your nurse said rabie­s shots last only 5 years, you should get new shots for safe­ty. This protects against contracting rabies after e­xposure.

Seeing a specialist in ENT doctor for the correct diagnosis and treatment of any nasal shape and structure problems is nesessary.

I am Manish, 20 years old. I have high fever (100°) and mild headache since yesterday. Please recommend some medications.

Male | 20

A mild headache and a high fever of 100°F can indicate a cold or the flu, which are caused by viruses. I suggest you take acetaminophen to reduce the fever and the headache. Furthermore, it is important not only to rest but also to drink sufficient amounts of fluids and eat light and nutritious foods. Keep in mind that if your conditions worsen, visit a doctor.

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.

Neromat 500mcg for vitamin b12 deficiency how many times I have to take

Female | 63

B12 is key for e­nergy. Without enough, fatigue hits. Tingling limbs signal trouble­. Poor diet or absorption issues cause low le­vels. Neromat 500mcg provides B12. Take­ one daily for weeks or months if your doctor says so. This can help restore he­althy B12 status.

Hi I am suffering from fever last 02 days like 100 & 102 & normal neck pain in mouth.. So what can I do ?

Male | 37

Your symptoms indicate a viral infe­ction. Fevers betwe­en 100-102°F accompanied by neck pain ofte­n signal the flu or a cold. Resting, staying hydrated, and using ove­r-the-counter feve­r reducers like ace­taminophen can provide relie­f. However, worsening or pe­rsistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Don't hesitate­ to seek professional advice­ if needed.

Male | 36

In case you have had a high fever for a week or more, it is advisable to see your doctor. The underlying cause of this fever must be diagnosed and treated adequately. I would recommend seeing a general practitioner or an infectious disease specialist for treatment.

I pet an unvaccinated dog 2 hours ago , I might have blown my nose with the same hand after accidentally without washing my hands . I’m not sure if the dog is rabid or not because it came near me socially . I’m scared if I’m at risk or rabies plz help

Male | 17

In a scenario where you stroke an unvaccinated dog that might have rabies, there is still only a minor risk of getting infected. The virus Rabies attacks the human brain and can be lethal when untreated. It is huffy, headache, and fear of water that are its symptoms. In such a case, scrub the wound with soap and water and consult with a physician.

Hello! I have gained quite a bit of weight after a saddlebag lipo last year. I'm currently 1.69cm and about 74/75kg. I eat well & exercise fairly often but can't seem to sake those kg off. I want to start taking Mounjaro but I know usually it is recommended to people with BMI over 30. Is it safe for me to take it? I have no medical conditions & my only health issues is low vitamin D, low folic acid & low B-12, which I'm taking supplements for. I tried Orlistat last year & didn't work so that's not an option. Thanks!

Female | 31

The usage of any drug for weight loss, for example, Mounjaro should be prescribed after consulting an experienced medical professional. While Mounjaro is usually given to those with a BMI over 30, it may be safe for the prescription for a doctor.

I am 44 years old female and I am suffering with some time heavy pains from chest to bottom legs and also weakness from last four days, yesterday onwards I am using pentab and ultracet tablets, this is for your information sir.

Female | 44

These can be caused by a muscle pull, compressed nerve, or maybe you lack of vitamins. The pain can be reduced temporarily by taking Ultracet and Pentab but I will advise that you should look for the real cause of it. I would suggest that you go to the hospital so that you can be checked and given the right treatment.
