Question

My daughter is 22 and she's got a really high fever. It seems to go down a bit with Calpol 650, but her heart rate gets really fast. Her heartbeat is a lot quicker, and it's worrying me. What should I do?

It sounds like your daughter may be experiencing tachycardia (fast heart rate) as a result of the fever. In this case, you can give her Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg to help reduce the fever and also help with any inflammation that may be causing the fast heart rate. Make sure to keep her well hydrated and monitor her temperature and heart rate closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention immediately.

Question

I received a full dose of the anti-rabies vaccine about 7 months back. Yesterday, my cat scratched me again, and there was a tiny bit of blood. I cleaned the scratch with soap and got a tetanus shot. Do you think it's necessary for me to get the rabies vaccine once more?

Question

I've been working out for the past couple of weeks, mainly doing pushups every evening, around 100 in 3 sets. But now I've started having this odd sensation where I struggle with breathing and swallowing when I'm having dinner. It's been going on for about three days. The feeling does go away after a while, but I'm worried. Could it have something to do with my chest muscles tightening from the pushups? I don't have asthma or anything like that. What do you think might be causing this?

Question

I'm feeling really worried because I've been having a high fever with shivering for the past two days, but it seems to get better when I take Paracetamol. On top of that, I've got this bad cough and a runny nose. It's been really tough dealing with it all at once. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing these symptoms?
