I'm experiencing shivering at night, and it usually stops after a little while. This has been happening for the past 34 days, and my temperature seems a bit higher than normal when the shivering occurs. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do about it?

I'm dealing with typhoid right now, and my doctor mentioned I should get three days of treatment. I'm wondering what activities I should steer clear of while I'm recovering. Also, what kind of foods would be best for me to eat during this time?

I'm a bit worried and could use some advice. I've been feeling this pain on the upper left side of my waist for the past three days, and now I'm occasionally getting dizzy too. It all started after I got back from the gym, so I'm thinking it might be muscular, but it's been getting worse rather than better. For context, I'm a mom to an 11-month-old and recently started working out again. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

That could be gastritis or muscle cramp,take adequate rest and consume bland diet for a better result.

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.
