I'm a bit concerned because my vaccinated dog bit me, and I started bleeding. I got my anti-rabies shot about 15 hours later, but the doctor gave me the injection on my butt. Some people are saying it should've been given on the shoulders instead. Does this mean my vaccination might not work, or should I be worried about it?

No need to worry, giving injection to the muscle is important let it be shoulder or butt.

I took three pills of Curam which has 875mg of amoxicillin, hoping it would help with my cold. But then I realized maybe I shouldn't have taken them, and now I'm dealing with some bad headaches. Should I keep taking the antibiotic or stop completely?

It is not recommended to continue taking the antibiotic without proper medical advice, especially if you are experiencing headaches. I would advise you to stop taking the antibiotic and consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance on the appropriate treatment for your cold and headaches.

I'm a bit confused about the medication I was prescribed. Should I be taking the ifin 500 and hhlevo M before or after I eat? It's not clear on the label, and I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Would love some guidance on this.
