Question

I'm on MDR for about 15 months now, and I'm curious about how much longer I'll have to take these meds. Can you also help me with the side effects? I've been having issues with confusion, feeling scared, and sweating a lot, especially when I eat. I'm taking clofazime 100mg, thiomide E 750mg, pyrizamide 2000mg, and moxifloxacin 400mg.

Question

What are the chances I could get rabies if I missed the 3rd shot and ended up taking it later along with the 4th? I got bitten by a stray cat on December 5, 2017. The bite wasn't too deep, but it was bleeding a bit. I washed it with soap and put on some Soframycin as soon as I got home. I had my first shot on December 6, the second on December 9, but then I missed the third one which I later took on December 20 along with the fourth shot. The fifth shot was on December 27, and I'm supposed to have my last one on January 3. Should I be worried about rabies?

Question

I've been having a fever for the past 78 days, and my temperature's been hanging around 98.6 to 99 degrees Celsius. I was on antibiotics after seeing a doctor, but with my recent blood test, it says S. typhi H is positive at 180. Even with the medication from the doctor, my fever is still at 99 degrees. Can you please tell me what's going on or what I should do next?
