I'm really concerned about a cat scratch I got five days ago, and it could be a category 2 wound. I'm currently on the rabies vaccine, and I'm wondering if it's safe to take some antibiotics alongside it. Will that mix well, or could it cause any complications?

It's important to follow your doctor's advice when taking the rabies vaccine after a potential exposure. Generally, antibiotics are not required unless there's a sign of infection at the wound site. If you are concerned about infection or the wound worsening, its best to consult your healthcare provider for appropriate care.

View allI'm dealing with a 103-degree fever and intense pain in my hands and muscles for the past three days. I also have a cold and cough but no vomiting or digestive issues, and my blood reports came back normal. I'm taking Dolo 650 every 4 hours, as well as Monocef 200mg, Rantac 150mg, and Ascoril syrup. My fever went down last night but came back this morning. Is there any way to get rid of this fever quickly? I'm really worried about what's causing it.
The symptoms you've described suggest you may be experiencing anal fissures, small tears in the lining of the anus. Hard stools can cause pain and discomfort, while softer stools may not exacerbate the issue. Consult a gastroenterologist or a proctologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.
