Question

Can you tell me what the Widal test is? The doctor wanted me to do this test because I had a continuous fever, but my malaria test was negative. The result came back as 1320, but I haven't been able to meet the doctor since the test. I took this test about two weeks ago. I'm not sure what this means.

Question

I'm worried because I've had a throat infection and fever since Sunday morning, which began two days after I went swimming. I'm also experiencing night sweats and a blocked throat when I wake up. I started taking Combiflam on Monday morning, but it's Tuesday night now, and I'm still not feeling any better. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about? Should I be doing anything else to help with these symptoms?

Question

I'm just dealing with a fever right now and noticing it's getting better after taking Dolo. Should I stick with this or maybe think about getting a blood test done? What do you suggest?

Question

Can I take the rabies vaccine even if I haven't been bitten by a dog? I recently had a dog just brush against my leg, and I know that's not how rabies is transmitted, but would it be okay or necessary to get the vaccine anyway?
