Question

I'm kind of worried about this rat bite I got on my toe a month back. It was a small wound, but it did bleed a bit. I saw a doctor, got a TT injection, and took antibiotics to avoid infection. They also suggested I get the Anti Rabies vaccine, but I haven't gotten it yet. Do you think it's necessary for me to take the Anti Rabies Vaccine at this point?

Question

Hey, I had a question about Rabipur injections. So basically, I got 5 shots of it around 14 years ago. I'm wondering if I need to get a booster dose now, and if it's something that lasts for life. Also, how many doses are we usually supposed to get anyway? Appreciate any advice!

Question

Can I still go to the gym while I'm getting anti-rabies treatment? A dog bit me, and I've finished 2 days of the vaccine, with 2 more to go. Is it okay to continue my workouts and take whey protein during this time? Would love your advice.

Question

I'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck, and after finishing two months of medication, the lump turned reddish and there's an open sinus with discharge coming out. I'm really concerned about this. Do you know why this might be happening and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it possible to completely cure this?
