A cat tried to bite me, and while I managed to pull my hand away, there was still a bit of contact with its teeth. There was hardly any pressure, so I didnt get a cut or even a scratch. I washed my hand and put spirit on it. Is that all I need to do, or is there anything else I should be concerned about?

View allI'm really struggling to get my work done because I'm dealing with a cold, fever, and a headache. I've already tried taking Dolo 650, but it hasn't helped at all. I can feel this intense heat around my nose. Do you think it's time to see a doctor?
it can be common cold so add azithromycin 500 mg od plus cetrizine also

I've been having fevers off and on and it's been accompanied by weakness, body aches, and shortness of breath. Sometimes my eyes get really itchy too. When my fever hits, my throat gets sore and I have this really annoying pain in my legs, especially below the knees and around my feet. I've noticed these symptoms reduce a bit when I take the EBASIL tablets my doctor gave me. Also, I work as a civil engineer so I'm constantly around dust. Could this be affecting my symptoms? Should I be worried about what's causing all this?
wear a N95 mask if you are going out. take tablet montec lc for 7 days
