I'm dealing with a sore throat from a bacterial infection, and my doctor told me to take Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days. I'm wondering if it's okay to take the first dose at night, or should I wait until tomorrow morning? And if I do take it tonight, when should I take the second one, tomorrow morning or tomorrow night?

-You can take the first dose at night. After that, take the second dose the following morning and continue once a day for the next two days as prescribed. Make sure to space the doses about 24 hours apart for best results.

View allI recently had some blood tests done, and I'm a bit confused about the results. My serum globulin came back at 4.07, but I thought the normal range was between 23.5 and something else. Also, my blood urea nitrogen is 5.27, which seems low since I heard it should be between 7 and 21. My vitamin D level is also a bit low at 10.53, but my doctor said it's not a big deal and just advised me to take a supplement. Does all this sound okay to you, or should I be worried about these levels?
Your doctor has prescribed you a vitamin D supplement to address the low levels. For your serum globulin level, you can consider taking over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin at a standard dose of 10mg once daily. And for your blood urea nitrogen level, you can try increasing your fluid intake and consuming foods rich in antioxidants like berries, nuts, and green leafy vegetables.

I'm a bit worried because my pet dog just bit me and the wound is bleeding. The dog is up to date with all its vaccinations, but I'm still concerned. Do I really need to go for a rabies shot, or am I safe since the dog is vaccinated?
If your pet dog is fully vaccinated against rabies, the risk of rabies transmission is low. However, it is still recommended to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection. Additionally, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm feeling really stressed because for the past five months I've been having this constant feeling of my body being hot to the touch, but all my HIV tests have turned out negative. I've done the p24 test, the Western Blot, and the HIV PCR RNA Quantitative. It's really concerning me because I also feel like I have an internal fever. Could there be something else causing these symptoms or should I be looking into other tests? What steps should I take next?
It's important to seek help and talk to someone about what you're going through. In terms of the fever, if it has been persistent and you're feeling unwell, you may need to consider taking some medication to help reduce the fever. You can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for fever. However, it's crucial to address the underlying issues causing you distress. Please reach out to a mental health professional or counselor for support.
