Question

I'm wondering about the current treatment plan for MDR TB. Are injections still a part of the treatment, or is it now just oral medication? I heard there have been changes, and I'm a bit worried about what to expect.

Question

I've been dealing with typhoid for the past two months, and it's causing a bunch of issues like relentless weakness, headaches, and nerve pain.

Question

I got a little scratch from a stray kitten who hasn't been vaccinated yet. It wasn't really bleeding, so I put off getting vaccinated myself. I ended up getting the rabies shot 44 hours after and a tetanus shot after 28 hours. Do you think this was too late, or am I still okay? I'm a bit worried and would love your take on it.
