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?

I'm wondering if it's okay for an average person like me to take Zincovit and Vitamin C every day? If so, what would be the right amount to take? And if it's not meant for daily use, how long should I actually take these supplements, and what's the dosage during that period?

A normal person can take Zincovit and Vitamin C supplements daily, but it's essential to follow the recommended dosages: Zincovit (zinc, vitamin C, and other minerals) 1-2 tabletscapsules per day, and Vitamin C 60-90 mg per day,

I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Back on January 6th, I had some tests done that showed minor typhoid and a high TLC of 12500. I was on treatment for about two weeks, and afterwards my fever went away and my TLC went down to 11000. I felt pretty good then, but a few days later, I started feeling like I had a fever again, even though my temperature and BP were normal. Yesterday I noticed my temperature was 96.8, but it went back to normal on its own. This morning, the feverish feeling came back despite an okay temperature. I took a Dolo 650 after breakfast and felt better during the day, but then my fever spiked to 100.2 in the evening. I'm just at a loss about what's going on here. What could this be? Could you suggest which tests I should get done to find out why this keeps happening?

it is good suggestion

I got bitten by a street dog and my wound is just skin peeling without any bleeding. The doctor recommended 3 shots of Rabipur or Verorab, but neither was available at my nearest medical store. The person at the store sent me to a government hospital where they gave me an Abhayrab shot and told me to get 4 more. But I'm worried because the Abhayrab dose seemed really small, like just 0.10.2 ml, using an insulin syringe on each arm, whereas Rabipur seemed like it's almost 1 ml per shot. Is the government hospital giving me too little, and should I switch to Rabipur from Abhayrab? I'm really anxious about this.

The dosage of rabies vaccine can vary depending on the brand and formulation used. Abhayrab is a suitable rabies vaccine and is commonly used in government hospitals. The dosage you received, around 0.1-0.2 ml per shot, is within the standard range for rabies vaccination. It is important to follow the recommended dosage schedule provided by the healthcare provider. If you are concerned about the dosage or considering switching to Rabipur, I recommend discussing this with the healthcare provider who administered the vaccine at the government hospital. They can provide you with more information on the dosage regimen and address any concerns you may have. It is important to complete the full course of rabies vaccination as advised by the healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies.
