I'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?

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 got scratched by a stray dog's nails and my doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but he still recommended I take three doses of the Verorab IM vaccine on days 0, 3, and 7. I've already finished them, but I'm concerned because I read that the usual anti-rabies treatment involves five doses on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Do you think I should get the additional doses on days 14 and 28, or are the three enough?

For your safety, it's recommended to follow the standard 5-dose regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis against rabies, which includes doses on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28.
