I'm getting anti-rabies shots at a government hospital because I was a bit worried that my friend's month-old puppy might have scratched me. The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?

View allI'm really worried about some health issues I've been having lately. Over the past few weeks, I've lost weight pretty quickly, dropping from 81.2kg on January 1st to 73.3kg by January 26th. I've also been dealing with nerve pull pain in my chest. I've had tests done like ECG, Echo, CT scan, and X-ray, but nothing's been diagnosed. For a few days, I felt okay, but now I'm dealing with gas, chest pain, a cough, headaches, and the weight loss is still happening. I get tired really easily and had night sweats one night, plus I sometimes get palpitations. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should my next steps be?
