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.

I've been experiencing some pain under my armpit and on the left side of my chest. I checked my armpit, and it's not swollen, but sometimes it feels like it's burning or being slashed by a fireblade, making it super sensitive to any touch. As for the pain in my left chest, it only hurts a little when I take a deep breath. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about?
While the pain you're experiencing might be muscular or nerve-related, its always important to err on the side of caution, especially when chest pain is involved. If the symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend seeing a doctor and get scans done for an evaluation to rule out any serious conditions.

I'm a bit confused about how much Albendazole an adult should take. Is there a specific dosage we should be aware of? Also, how often is it safe to take this medication? Would appreciate some guidance on this.
The usual dose of **Albendazole** for adults is **400 mg** as a single dose for common parasitic infections. Depending on the condition (e.g., deworming or specific parasitic infections like hydatid disease), the frequency may vary. Always follow your doctor's advice for proper dosing and duration.
