Could you suggest a good cough syrup? I've had this dry cough since this morning and it's quite uncomfortable. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I got bitten by a rat about a week ago and went to see a doctor. He gave me a tetanus shot but said I didn't need the anti-rabies injection. I'm anxious about not getting those rabies shots. Is that normal, or did I miss out on something important?
If your doctor has assessed your rat bite and determined that you do not require an anti-rabies injection, then you should be fine. However, it is important to monitor the bite wound for any signs of infection or unusual symptoms. In case you experience any redness, swelling, pain, or discharge from the wound, please consult your doctor immediately.

I'm feeling feverish on and off for the last couple of weeks, but every time I take my temperature, it's at 98.6. I've also got a bit of a sore throat, but I'm not having any issues with breathing or a dry cough. A person in my building was diagnosed with coronavirus a few days ago, and it's making me really anxious. I'm not sure what's happening with my health since I've never felt this way before. Any advice?
1. *Self-monitor*: Continue tracking your temperature and overall health. 2. *Mask up*: Wear a mask when leaving your home or interacting with others. 3. *Social distancing*: Maintain a safe distance from others, especially in your building. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Call your doctor*: Schedule a teleconsultation or in-person appointment to discuss your symptoms and concerns. 2. *Disclose exposure*: Inform your doctor about the COVID-19 case in your building. *Anxiety and Stress Management* 1. *Stay informed*: Follow credible sources (e.g., WHO, CDC) for COVID-19 updates. 2. *Practice relaxation techniques*: Engage in activities like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help manage anxiety. 3. *Connect with others*: Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for emotional support.
