I'm dealing with a fever that's been going on for two days now. The doctor mentioned it's viral, but I'm just wondering how long it'll usually take to get better. Would it be a few more days, or could it last longer?

-Viral fevers usually last 35 days, but rest and hydration can help you recover faster. If the fever persists beyond 5 days or worsens, follow up with your doctor. Take care!

View allI'm dealing with a throat infection and my doctor suggested I take Zedocef 200. After a couple of days, I'm now experiencing a pretty bad headache that just won't go away. I tried taking Disprine today but it didn't really help. The headache seems to be focused right at the top center of my head. Could you recommend something that might help?
take previous medicine

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been experiencing weakness, a mild fever, pain just below my ribs, loss of appetite, and dizziness. When I went to the doctor, they said I have typhoid and that the pain below my ribs is due to swelling in my spleen. They did a Widal test and a blood test. Lately, I've also started having pain in my left shoulder. I'm not sure if the medicine the doctor prescribed is meant to treat both the typhoid and the spleen issue. Should I consider consulting another doctor about this? The prescription says I should take Tab Pyroflox, Olgerd D, Dolo 650, and SunUp S.

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.
