I'm really worried about my dad. For the past few days, he's been complaining of severe back pain and just seems super tired. He's also been having trouble breathing normally, like he has to take deep breaths and it's kinda like he's struggling. Plus, he feels like he might vomit but hasn't actually thrown up. Everything else seems okay, like his bathroom habits and appetite, but you can just tell by looking at him that he's exhausted. What could be going on with him?

Question

I got scratched by a stray dog's nails and my doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but he still recommended I take three doses of the Verorab IM vaccine on days 0, 3, and 7. I've already finished them, but I'm concerned because I read that the usual anti-rabies treatment involves five doses on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Do you think I should get the additional doses on days 14 and 28, or are the three enough?

Question

I got dolopar 650 by mistake when my prescription was for dolo 650. Are they the same, or should I be worried about using the wrong one? What should I do?
