I'm dealing with a cold that's been lingering for about five days now. I've been using Alerid syrup but havent felt any better. Do you think Hicet syrup would be a better option to help with this?

I'm a bit concerned because my vaccinated dog bit me, and I started bleeding. I got my anti-rabies shot about 15 hours later, but the doctor gave me the injection on my butt. Some people are saying it should've been given on the shoulders instead. Does this mean my vaccination might not work, or should I be worried about it?

No need to worry, giving injection to the muscle is important let it be shoulder or butt.
