I'm feeling a bit uneasy today and I can't seem to take a full breath. My nose and throat are really dry, especially my nose. Earlier, I felt feverish but when I checked, my temperature was only 97.6. I'm having this punching pain in my chest and back too. What could be going on?

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'm really worried about my mom who's been dealing with lymph nodes issues for two years now. We've done a bunch of tests like the histopathology and TB PCR, and luckily, they all came back negative for TB. There's no fluid in the lymph nodes, and she hasn't shown any symptoms like fever, weight loss, or tiredness. So, her doctor concluded it's not TB and put her on Clavam 650, Diclomol, and Montex LC for five days. I totally forgot to ask the doctor about how many Clavam 650 tablets she should be taking each day. Should it be one tablet or two? Could you please help me figure this out?

2 tablet
