View allI'm a bit concerned because my vaccinated dog bit me, and I started bleeding. I got my anti-rabies shot about 15 hours later, but the doctor gave me the injection on my butt. Some people are saying it should've been given on the shoulders instead. Does this mean my vaccination might not work, or should I be worried about it?
No need to worry, giving injection to the muscle is important let it be shoulder or butt.

I'm dealing with a really bothersome sore throat after having COVID, and I'm considering taking Azithromycin 500mg. Should I be taking it once or twice every day? I'm just not sure what the daily dosage should be for an adult like me. Would love your guidance on this.
Your morning yellow urine is likely due to concentrated urine from overnight dehydration. Drinking 5-6 liters of water daily is excellent, but consider having a glass of water before bedtime. Consult a Nephrologist or Urologist to rule out any underlying kidney or urinary tract issues. Also, address your digestion problems, as they might be linked to your urine color. In the meantime, monitor your urine color and output, and keep your doctor informed. A simple urine test (Urine Routine Examination) can help determine if there's an underlying issue.

I'm really worried about some health issues I've been having lately. Over the past few weeks, I've lost weight pretty quickly, dropping from 81.2kg on January 1st to 73.3kg by January 26th. I've also been dealing with nerve pull pain in my chest. I've had tests done like ECG, Echo, CT scan, and X-ray, but nothing's been diagnosed. For a few days, I felt okay, but now I'm dealing with gas, chest pain, a cough, headaches, and the weight loss is still happening. I get tired really easily and had night sweats one night, plus I sometimes get palpitations. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should my next steps be?
do sputum test
