I got a small bite from my dog, he's got his antirabies shot in February. The wound is kind of healing but a bit of blood came out. Do I need to see a doctor, or is it nothing to worry about? What should I do next?

I'm dealing with a viral fever right now and I'm feeling alright at the moment. I've been sticking to fluids and vegetarian meals, but I'm really craving some spicy food, like non-vegetarian biryani. Is it okay to satisfy that craving while I'm in this condition?

-It's good that you're feeling better! You can enjoy some spicy non-vegetarian biryani if your appetite and digestion are normal now. Just eat in moderation and ensure it's freshly cooked to avoid upsetting your stomach.

I'm a big fan of pork and eat it quite often. Recently, my biology teacher mentioned something about helminths and suggested that people who love pork should consider taking albendazole, although I'm not entirely sure if that's how you spell it. Should I be taking this too? If so, how many tablets should I take, and when should I be taking them?

I've been dealing with COVID for about ten days, and thankfully most of the symptoms are gone, but I still have this annoying itch in my throat. Its making me uncomfortable. Could you recommend something to help soothe this throat irritation?

You can try using lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol to help soothe the throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing phenol or glycerin to help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to stay hydrated and gargle with warm salt water to further alleviate the discomfort.
