I've been having a constant fever between 99 and 101 for the last 15 days. I feel pretty normal most of the time, but when it gets closer to 101, I just get really sleepy. I did a blood test, and it showed my hemoglobin is a bit low, but the platelet count is normal. I also tested negative for malaria, and my SPG report is fine. I've already taken two 5-day courses of antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor, but the fever is still there. There's no other problem, but I'm really curious about why this is happening. Any ideas?

Question

I'm a bit confused about the differences between Albendazole and Mebendazole. Is it safe to take them both at the same time, or should they be taken separately? I'm just trying to make sure I do this right. What would you advise?

Question

I'm following an anti-rabies vaccination schedule with the intradermal route and my doses were on Days 0, 3, 7, and the last one on Day 28 which I'm supposed to get on 1st August 2021. I've already had 3 doses, but today a street dog scratched me with its nails, causing minor bleeding. There's no big wound, just a scratch. Should I take an extra dose of the vaccine? I'm not sure what to do and could really use your advice.

Question

I've been having this fever that just keeps coming back every few hours. When I take paracetamol and get some sleep, my temperature drops, and I feel completely fine, but then the fever returns after about 34 hours and I start feeling dizzy again. I'm getting really worried about this pattern. What could be causing this and what should I do?
