I'm really struggling with a bad cold and throat pain for the last week. I tried taking cetirizine but it hasn't helped at all. I really need to get better quickly. Can you suggest anything that might work? Honestly, I'm getting a bit worried.

Question

I got a 102.7 fever since yesterday right after I got the vaccine, but my parents and in-laws haven't had any fever at all. Is there a reason why younger people like me might be getting fevers while older folks are feeling fine after the shot? Just trying to understand if this is normal.

Question

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?

Question

I'm feeling a bit uneasy because I've got a slight cold and some throat pain. My oxygen levels range from 95 to 96, and sometimes they go up to 99. Is this something I should be concerned about? I haven't had any fever or other symptoms, but I'm getting anxious, especially with my 9-month-old baby at home. Can you let me know if there's anything I should do or keep an eye on?
