I'm feeling alright, but last week a cat scratched my leg, and I got a tetanus shot right away. Now, I'm wondering if I should be taking any other medications or doing anything else to make sure I'm okay. What do you think?

Since you've already taken Tetanus Toxoid (TT) immediately after the cat scratch, you're likely protected against tetanus; however, cat scratches can also transmit cat-scratch disease (CSD), caused by Bartonella henselae bacteria, so monitor yourself for symptoms like redness, swelling, or pus at the scratch site, fever, headache, or swollen lymph nodes

View allI've had a really bad runny nose for the past six days, and I'm feeling pretty miserable. I heard that taking azithromycin tablets might help with a cold. Do you think it's a good idea for me to try them, or should I consider something else? Is it normal for a cold to last this long?

Just wondering about this levoflox 500mg prescription for my ear infection. I accidentally skipped it for three days. Do you think itll still work if I start taking it again from day four? Or is it better to switch to something else?
You should continue taking Levoflox 500mg as prescribed for the remaining 4 days to complete the full course of treatment. Missing a few doses may reduce the effectiveness of the medication, but it is still important to finish the prescribed course. Do not switch to another medication without consulting your doctor.
