Question

I received a full dose of the anti-rabies vaccine about 7 months back. Yesterday, my cat scratched me again, and there was a tiny bit of blood. I cleaned the scratch with soap and got a tetanus shot. Do you think it's necessary for me to get the rabies vaccine once more?

Depending on the severity of the scratch and the risk of rabies transmission, a booster dose of ARV may be considered. The standard regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis includes a series of rabies vaccine doses, such as Rabipur or Verorab, administered over a specific time period. The healthcare provider will assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.

Question

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about this pain I'm feeling in my left arm after a blood test, especially since I usually don't have any issues with them. It's weird because I had one not too long ago and felt fine. Now, it hurts a bit when I try to straighten my arm, and it just doesn't seem like my normal arm. Is this something I should be worried about?

Question

So, my friend's nail accidentally scratched me and now there's some blood. Should I be worried about an infection from this scratch?
