I'm currently on an antirabies vaccine schedule and was wondering if having a moderate amount of alcohol between the shots is safe. The vaccine consists of two doses, one on day zero and another on the third day. Are there any issues with drinking alcohol when it's not on the same day as getting the shot?

View allI'm feeling a bit worried. So, I was having some trouble swallowing and the doctor prescribed me Aziwok 500 once a day and Calpol twice a day for 5 days. It's been 2 days, and my throat's feeling better, but now I'm running a fever of about 101. Should I be concerned or do anything specific about this?
this could be pharyngitis,take warm foods,and adequate rest do salt water gargling threetime a day and visit your ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I recently got a haircut and accidentally ended up with a small cut from the barber's scissors. I'm really anxious about whether this might transmit HIV. Could scissors carry the virus like that?
The risk of HIV transmission through a minor cut from barber scissors is extremely low, as HIV cannot survive for long outside the human body, and the virus is not transmitted through casual contact or minor cuts; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting a doctor or getting a HIV test after the window period (3-6 months) for peace of mind.

My father has been bedridden for over 15 years and developed bed sores on both buttocks in the last 5 years. We do daily dressings but now the sores are turning black. He's also had fever for the past 23 days. We're in Pune and not considering surgery since he's handicapped and can't move. Could you suggest a good doctor to treat this? Attached his haemogram report for reference.
Given the severity of your father's condition, with black sores and a prolonged fever, seeking professional medical attention is crucial. Since you're in Pune and not considering surgery, you'll need to find a doctor specializing in wound care or geriatric medicine.
