Question 1

I've had all three of my rabies shots right on time, but I've missed the fourth one that was supposed to be on the 15th. It's now the 16th. Is it okay to get it on the 17th, or should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections. Continue taking Dolo 650 to manage fever and symptoms. Consider adding:

1. Rest and hydration
2. Warm liquids (e.g., tea, soup)
3. Saline nasal drops (for congestion)
4. Cough syrup (if needed)

Question 2

I've had PV malaria three times this year and each time I took Lariago DS. I can't take PQ though, because my G6PD enzyme levels are on the lower side. Is there any permanent way to get rid of this? I'm really worried it might keep coming back.

Accepted Answer

Given your recurrent Plasmodium vivax (PV) malaria and G6PD deficiency, which prevents you from taking primaquine (PQ), consider consulting a specialist for alternative treatment options, such as a higher dose of chloroquine or a combination of chloroquine and other antimalarial medications, and take preventive measures, including using insecticide-treated bed nets, wearing protective clothing, and applying insect repellents to minimize the risk of future infections.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my widal test results and I'm hoping you can help me understand them. The results show agglutination with "O" at a 1160 titer, but there's no agglutination with H, AH, or BH. Does this mean I have typhoid? What do these numbers indicate, and should I be worried about any specific symptoms or follow-up tests? I'm just a bit anxious and want to be sure about what's going on with my health.
