I'm dealing with a cold all week and it's giving me headaches. My nose starts running when I get up early in the morning because the weather is so chilly then. When I take a cold tablet, it seems to help for the rest of the day. But the cold just comes back the next morning. Plus, the sneezing from this is non-stop. Any advice on what I can do to get better?

I'm kind of worried about a small wound on my finger. I'm not sure if it's from my dog biting or scratching me while we were playing. I even saw a little blood near my dog's nose, which made me start thinking. I read online that rabies symptoms can take 2-3 weeks to show up. Should I be concerned about rabies or get it checked by a doctor?

Since you are unsure if it was a dog bite or scratch, it's important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. To be safe, you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and possible rabies vaccination. In the meantime, you can take a tetanus shot to prevent any infection from developing.

I've just got my routine annual blood work back, and my bilirubin level is 1.1. The lab report says it's in the normal range, but being just 0.1 away from the edge makes me a bit uneasy. I do have hypertension and I'm on the generic form of Norvasc, 5mg, plus a low-dose aspirin. I'm very active, working out 5-6 days a weeklifting, running, or bikingand I maintain a healthy diet. I do enjoy some social drinks now and then. Should I be worried? My other numbers came out around the middle of the normal ranges.

no need to worry its normal
