I got hit in the ribs during a fight, and it's been really painful when I laugh, take a deep breath, or even when I cough. I originally thought it might be a broken rib, but it surprisingly doesn't hurt when I touch it or move my torso around. It's been hurting for four days without any sign of getting better; if anything, it feels like it's getting worse. Do you think this could be a serious problem? Should I consider seeing a doctor?

My wife just took 5 tablets of Alzolam 0.5mg and she's sleeping right now. I'm really worried, could you please tell me what I should do next? Is this something serious or should I let her sleep it off?

Considering homeopathy alongside conventional treatment is a personal choice. Since you're already taking an antibiotic (Meva-C), consult your doctor before starting homeopathic treatment. For digestive issues, such as loose motions, homeopathy may offer complementary support. Some commonly used homeopathic remedies for digestive issues include: 1. _Arsenicum album_: For diarrhea, abdominal pain, and burning sensations. 2. _Podophyllum_: For loose, watery stools, and abdominal cramps. 3. _Nux vomica_: For digestive issues, such as diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. However, it's essential to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition. They will assess your overall health, symptoms, and medical history to recommend personalized remedies. Before starting homeopathic treatment: 1. _Inform your doctor_: Share your decision to explore homeopathy with your conventional doctor. 2. _Consult a qualified homeopath_: Find a licensed homeopathic practitioner to guide you.

So, my pet dog just bit me on my right foot near the ankle back on May 11, 2019. Do you think I need an anti-rabies shot for this? And if so, any idea how much that might cost? Just mentioning that we got our dog vaccinated around 7 years ago.

Yes you have to take complete course of vaccination which would be 4 doses when given intradermal route,visit your physician for appropriate approach.
