I'm dealing with both dengue and typhoid at the same time, and my platelet count is at 1.9 lakh. I've tested positive for antigen NS1 and had a positive Widal test. Should I be worried about this and consider getting hospitalized, or is it something I can manage at home?

I received a full dose of the anti-rabies vaccine about 7 months back. Yesterday, my cat scratched me again, and there was a tiny bit of blood. I cleaned the scratch with soap and got a tetanus shot. Do you think it's necessary for me to get the rabies vaccine once more?

Depending on the severity of the scratch and the risk of rabies transmission, a booster dose of ARV may be considered. The standard regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis includes a series of rabies vaccine doses, such as Rabipur or Verorab, administered over a specific time period. The healthcare provider will assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.

I've been experiencing this weird internal fever sensation every evening and I feel super uncomfortable. And in the mornings, I wake up feeling really weak. It's been happening every day for the last 15 days. What do you think could be causing this? Should I be worried?

I'm curious about deworming for adults in the 40-50 age range. Should we be doing it even if everything seems fine, or is it unnecessary? Also, would taking albendazole be safe in such cases?

yes
