A dog scratched me two months ago .will I be affected with rabies?
Female | 20
Although a dog's scratch seems small, rabies worry is natural. However, if two months passed after the incident, the chances are low. Rabies brings fever, headaches, and anxiety – signs caused by the virus in animal saliva. Still, discussing with a doctor eases concerns.

Last night a bat flew over my back and I am afraid it might have bitten me. I didn't feel the bite, but now I feel pain in my left shoulder and nausea. Given the potential risk of rabies, I would like to ask if I should seek medical attention immediately?
Male | 17
You might not experience any symptoms if a bat bit you because their bites can be small. If you feel pain and nausea afterward, especially in your left shoulder, it could be a sign of rabies. Rabies is a serious brain virus that commonly occurs through animal bites. Hence, it is necessary to seek medical help without delay. Rabies may be prevented if treated early, hence, it is better not to take risks.

I am 26 and I am 5.2 feet in height. I wat to increase 2.5-3 inches of my height. is it possible? any medical treatment or supplement or medicine? please help me.
Male | 26
I must inform you that after the age of 18-20, the growth plates in your bones usually fuse, and your bones stop growing. So it's unlikely that you can increase your height by 2.5 to 3 inches through medical treatment, supplements, or medicines.
There is also a surgical procedure called Limb lengthening but its a complex one considered as a last resort for those with severe limb length discrepancies and comes with certain risks & complications.

I'm 36 years old disabled man has muscular dystrophy, 8 days ago a small rat bites in my hand, bite very small, i did my tatenus injection but still confused about what medicine i need to take. Everything is fine but I'm thinking to use medicine so which one?
Male | 36
If a rat bites you, watch out for further developments regarding your muscular dystrophy. If the signs of inflammation of your hand appear such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus you may require antibiotics which will need to be prescribed by a doctor. Act fast, to avoid complications. Do not be afraid to contact your doctor for any additional instructions.

Female | 23
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, the lump under the skin could be a swollen lymph node. You should have it examined by a doctor, as it may also be a cyst or something else. I would advise you to consult an ENT specialist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Good evening sir, do you have time to talk with me, i am suffering from tonsils or throat infection
Male | 19
It seems you might have tonsillitis. That's when your tonsils get infected and swollen. You'll likely have a really sore throat, making it hard to swallow. Plus, the glands in your neck could swell up too. Tonsillitis usually happens because of viruses or bacteria. To feel better soon, take it easy and drink plenty of warm liquids like tea or soup. Visit your doctor to get relief from this.

Female | 21
This could be because the combination or the individual medications may have caused an adverse reaction. It's better if you discontinue the use of both tablets to prevent any potential worsening of symptoms. Hydrate yourself and take some rest as well.

Hello, I had a cut on my hand and another person's hand touched my wound. I saw the cut on his hand too, but I didn't feel any moisture after touch. Is it possible for HIV to be transmitted in this way?
Female | 34
HIV spreads mainly from unprotected sex, needles, or transfusions. Getting it through touching is very rare. If there was no blood or fluid, the chances are tiny. Symptoms like fever, tiredness, swollen glands may occur. But talk to a doctor if you're concerned. They can ease your worries and maybe test you.

I have been having high fever for a few days and yesterday, I visited the doctor. From my blood test, he explained that I don't have a bacterial infection since my Neutrophils level is within the normal range. However, he did prescribe me the antibiotic amoxicillin and today I found out amoxicillin is used to treat bacterial infections. I have already had 4 out of the 21 doses prescribed. I am aware that I need to complete all doses for antibiotics. I want to get a second opinion on whether this antibiotic will really be beneficial for me as right now, I'm just experiencing a lot 9f nausea
Female | 28
You need to finish the whole course of antibiotics prescribed to you. Even if the levels of your Neutrophil are in normal averages, your doctor may have placed you on amoxicillin as a preventive measure. If you experience too much sickness or any other concern with your drug intake, it is better to see your doctor or infectious specialist.
