I'm dealing with typhoid right now and was wondering if it's okay to masturbate. Is it harmless or should I avoid it while I'm sick?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally safe to masturbate during typhoid if you're feeling well enough and it doesn't cause discomfort. However, typhoid can cause fatigue and weakness, so prioritize rest and hydration to aid recovery. If unsure, consult your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm a bit worried about a cat bite I got recently. Can you tell me how long the anti-rabies vaccination stays effective? And is it necessary to get a tetanus shot after a cat bite too? I've had some vaccinations before, but I'm not sure if I'm still covered. Would love your thoughts on this.
A full course of Rabies vaccination may provide protection for upto 5 years. Estimation of anti-rabies antibody level in the blood may help in this regard. A single booster dose of rabies vaccine once a year for those at high risk is harmless and may provide adequate protection. Tetanus vaccine is needed when there is open wound. But a single booster dose can be protective for upto 5 years.
