I was bitten by a dog that hadn't been vaccinated on August 5th and I got the RabiPure rabies vaccine from a local physician right away. She told me to come back in 7 days for the next dose, but I went to my family doctor instead and found out that I missed the second dose. What should I do now?

Question

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. I've had a bad cough for the past three days - it's been paired with a cold and sneezing. My temperature seems normal though. The thing is, I'm about to travel and I need some kind of remedy that can help in the next 12 hours or so. I plan to see a physician after that, but I really need some relief until then. Any advice you could give would be great.

Question

I'm really struggling with a bad cold and throat pain for the last week. I tried taking cetirizine but it hasn't helped at all. I really need to get better quickly. Can you suggest anything that might work? Honestly, I'm getting a bit worried.

Question

I'm thinking about trying to quit smoking, and I've heard about nicotine gums like Nicotex, Nicorette, and kwikNic that are supposed to help with this. I'm a bit worried, though. Are these gums actually safe, and do they have any proven side effects or risk of addiction? I just want to make sure before I decide to use them.
