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'm 28 and I've been feeling really tired and weak lately. I'm on a vegetarian diet and I was wondering if taking Multivitamin A to Z syrup could help. What's the right dosage for me and how long should I be taking it to see some improvement? Is there anything specific I should watch out for while using this?

Can take 5ml once daily

I'm really concerned because I had the first symptoms of COVID back on May 7th, and while I had mild symptoms like occasional moderate fevers and a cough for over 10 days, I've mostly recovered now. However, I still get a mild cough and sometimes my temperature goes up to around 99 degrees, but it happens only once every three days or so, usually at night and it's better by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? Sometimes thinking about it reminds me of long COVID and all the scary stories I've heard about people having serious issues even months later. I have a history of cardiophobia which was under control until I got COVID, and now those anxious thoughts about heart attacks and strokes are creeping back again. Could this be related or should I just brush it off?

donot worry , if there are any other comorbidites then you should worry
