There is no specific timeline of sideeffects which can commonly apply for all medicines. It depends on the duration of usage, dosage of medicine used and half-life elimination of the drug from the body.

Question

I'm a bit worried because my guinea pig bit me on the finger about 10 days ago, but there wasn't any blood drawn. I've had a pretty thorough vaccination history with anti-rabies shots, like 5 full doses of Abhayrab in January 2021, 2 booster doses in August 2021, and another booster of Rabipur in September 2021. Now I'm wondering if I should get another booster dose? My guinea pig seems to be just fine and alive after these 10 days, but should I still be concerned?

Question

My mom got the Covishield vaccine for Covid19 about a week ago, and even after 7 days, she's still having a swollen, painful, and tight feeling where she got the shot. We've tried using Thormophob tube and given her zero Dolphy, but it doesn't seem to be getting much better. I'm really worried and could use some advice on what tablet or cream might help. Also, she has Type 2 diabetes, so I'm not sure if that's affecting how she's healing. What can we do to help her feel better?
