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?

Question

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?

Question

Is it normal for my dad to shiver and have a high fever after a CECT scan? His temperature is around 102 degrees Celsius, and we've given him an antiallergic medicine and paracetamol, but it hasn't lowered. Could this be a dangerous reaction, or will he feel better soon? I'm worried because he's diabetic and has high blood pressure with a reading of 156100. Should I take him to the hospital, or wait it out?

I'm trying to find the best multivitamin supplements because after working in the office for five days, I often feel exhausted.
