I'm getting a bit worried about my brother's health. After a month of recovering from COVID, his LDH test shows a value of 282. I'm not sure if this is within the normal range. His CRP and D-Dimer results have come back normal, though. Should we be concerned about the LDH level, or is this something that can happen post-COVID?

I'm wondering, after how many days of having a common cold can my mom safely get her second dose of Covishield? It's already time for her to get it, but she recently had a cold that's mostly under control now, though she's still got a bit of a cough. Is it okay for her to take the vaccine now, or would it be a problem if she delays the second dose because the vaccine isn't available?

I've been bitten by a rat, and I bled for a moment. The doctor gave me an anti-tetanus and a Rabipur injection. He also mentioned I need to take two more Rabipur injections with a 2-day gap in between. I'm wondering, is it really necessary to get those additional shots?

Yes you have to risk complete post exposure regimen of rabies vaccine and follow your doctors advice

I've just gotten over the flu, but now I'm dealing with a really sore throat and these swollen lymph nodes on each side of the back of my neck. I've also been sweating a lot at night and my scalp itches. Should I be worried about any of this? What could be causing these symptoms?
