I'm a bit worried after a street dog touched my nose and licked my hand this morning. It happened around 11, and I washed my hand about 10 minutes later. The dog didn't bite me, and there's no wound on my hand. Do you think I should get a vaccine for this, or is it okay to wait and see?

I'm feeling really confused about my COVID medication schedule. I've been prescribed Ivermectin 12 mg for five nights, Azithromycin 500 for five afternoons, and a few other supplements like Limcee, zinc acetate, calcium with vitamin D3, and a vitamin B complex. My question is about Ivermectin should I take it before or after food? Also, after taking Azithromycin, I experience some discomfort in my stomach. Would it be okay to take Rantac in the morning before food to help with that?

Hello, Ivermectin can be taken after food to reduce any stomach irritation. As for Azithromycin, it can cause stomach discomfort, so taking Rantac before breakfast may help alleviate this. However, its always best to check with your doctor for personalized advice. Take care!
