I'm a bit concerned because I've been running a low-grade fever for about 10 days now. Every evening, it goes up to 99 or 100 degrees. I've already tested for dengue, malaria, and typhoid, and all came back negative, but the fever's still there. What do you think might be causing this, and what should I do next?

I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the last four days. I got some tests done and my urine epithelial cells count came back at 45, but everything else in the urine test, including pus cells, is within the normal range. Should I be concerned about the high epithelial cells, or could it just be related to the fever? Would love to get your advice on this.

There are many causes of fever, just with this amount history it's difficult to diagnose.

I got bitten by a rat about a week ago and went to see a doctor. He gave me a tetanus shot but said I didn't need the anti-rabies injection. I'm anxious about not getting those rabies shots. Is that normal, or did I miss out on something important?

If your doctor has assessed your rat bite and determined that you do not require an anti-rabies injection, then you should be fine. However, it is important to monitor the bite wound for any signs of infection or unusual symptoms. In case you experience any redness, swelling, pain, or discharge from the wound, please consult your doctor immediately.
