I got a scratch on my hand from playing with my two-month-old puppy last night. Should I be concerned about rabies or any other infections?

I'm wondering if there's anything wrong with taking multivitamin supplements without a prescription. I'm an IT professional and generally keep a balanced diet, steering clear of oily junk foods and focusing on protein and veggies. But I'm concerned that I might not be getting all my vitamin requirements from my food. Would taking a multivitamin daily fill in those gaps?

I've been dealing with a cold, sneezing, and a constantly runny nose every day, which has been pretty frustrating. I recently tried the Pankaja Kasthuri Breathe Eazy syrup, and I noticed some improvement, which was a relief. I'm wondering if it's safe and effective to continue using this syrup for a longer period, and if so, do you think it's okay to order a couple more bottles? I'm just a bit concerned about whether it's addressing the root of the problem or just easing the symptoms. Any advice on this would be really appreciated.

Can you help me understand the symptoms of coronavirus? I've had a headache and fever for 23 days. My fever was 100 on the first day, but now it's around 98 or 99. I also have a sore throat. Last week, I took cold showers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I'm not sure if that's why I'm feeling this way or if there's another reason. Could you please advise?
