Question

So, if a pet dog bit someone and the dog was given a Nobivac Rabies vaccination just five months ago, is getting a TT injection going to be enough for the bite? Should there be any additional precautions or steps we should take? Also, is there anything specific we should keep an eye on after the bite?

Question

I've ended up taking 8 ibuprofen tablets in just 35 minutes because my hip is really sore and I'm having a hard time walking. Now the pain is spreading to my rib, both at the front and back, and it feels like a sharp, jabbing pain. Should I be worried about taking so many tablets in that short time, or is this kind of pain normal?

Question

My partner took a big breath of deodorant spray by mistake, and now we're both kind of worried about it. Are there any risks we should keep on our radar? Does she need to see a doctor right away, or could it be something that'll just pass?
