I'm a bit worried because my pet dog just bit me and the wound is bleeding. The dog is up to date with all its vaccinations, but I'm still concerned. Do I really need to go for a rabies shot, or am I safe since the dog is vaccinated?

If your pet dog is fully vaccinated against rabies, the risk of rabies transmission is low. However, it is still recommended to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection. Additionally, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI'm a bit worried because I got injured 4 months ago on a rusty iron plate, and I had a tetanus shot then. Now, I've hurt myself again, this time on an iron shutter. Do you think I need to get another tetanus injection? How long does the effect of the shot usually last?
take vaccine

I'm dealing with a sore throat that's been persistent for two days now, and I've tried betadine gargles three times a day along with some apple cider vinegar, but nothing seems to be helping. I visited the pharmacy and was given curam 1g to take twice a day for a week, along with clarinase, even though I have no congestion or whiteness in my throat. Should I be taking these medications, or is there something else you recommend? I'm really curious about what the best step forward is.
Curam is a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, which is commonly used to treat bacterial infections, including throat infections. Additionally, you can continue taking Clarinase as prescribed. Clarinase contains loratadine and pseudoephedrine, which can help relieve symptoms such as throat irritation and congestion. Make sure to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if you start feeling better before the 7 days are up. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider.

I've been feeling a bit off and noticed my temperature is around 98.2F. I'm kind of worried if that's considered a fever, especially since it's summer. Is having a temperature between 97 and 99F something I should be concerned about right now?
No its not considered as fever
