I was bitten by a dog that hadn't been vaccinated on August 5th and I got the RabiPure rabies vaccine from a local physician right away. She told me to come back in 7 days for the next dose, but I went to my family doctor instead and found out that I missed the second dose. What should I do now?

I'm dealing with a sore throat and cold, and my doctor said it's pharyngitis. He prescribed azithromycin and told me to take 250 mg twice a day for 3 days. But before, another doctor gave me 500 mg once daily for 3 days for a similar issue. I also read online that the dosage for sinusitis is 500 mg daily for 3 days, while for pharyngitis, its 500 mg on the first day, followed by 250 mg twice daily from day 2 to day 5. I'm really confused about what the right dosage should be. Could you help me figure out the correct prescription?

Question

I'm feeling alright, but last week a cat scratched my leg, and I got a tetanus shot right away. Now, I'm wondering if I should be taking any other medications or doing anything else to make sure I'm okay. What do you think?
