If stray dog licks my food I eat that food after one hour and also I have a ulcer in mouth is there chances of getting rabies
Male | 23
Stray dogs don't spread rabies through food. Rabies is tough to catch, even if an infected dog licks food you later eat. Having a mouth ulcer won't raise your risk. Still, watch for fever, headache, and muscle aches - signs you'll need prompt medical attention. Chances are extremely low.

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.

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 think i have skin cancer but i don’t know how to tell
Female | 14
If you suspect skin cancer, consult a dermatologist. Monitor any changes in moles or spots using the ABCDE rule. Take photos for documentation and avoid self diagnosis. A dermatologist can perform a thorough examination and potentially conduct a biopsy if necessary. Early detection is key for successful treatment.
