View allI'm based in Pune and have been dealing with Tubercular Lymphadenopathy for the last 9 months, but I can still feel swollen nodes on the left side of my neck. I'm worried because even after all this treatment, the size hasn't gone down. Could you recommend a well-experienced specialist in Pune who can help me with this?
Ideally the swelling also should come down,as it is still persisting, visit Physician for follow up and appropriate treatment.

I'm really concerned about my situation here. I was bitten by a street cat before and went through the full rabies vaccination series of 5 doses. Then, 6 months later, the same cat bit me again, and I got 3 more doses of the vaccine. Now, if this same cat bites me once more just 2 months after my last rabies shot, do I need to get vaccinated again? If so, how many doses would be necessary? Also, just to mention, the cat hasn't been vaccinated. What should I do?
After two previous bite incidents and vaccination series, if bitten again by the same unvaccinated cat, you'll likely need a booster dose. Here's a general guideline: Consult a Doctor Immediately 1. Report the incident and previous vaccination history. 2. Discuss the need for a booster dose. General Recommendations 1. If the previous vaccination series was completed (5 doses), a booster dose of 1-2 injections might be sufficient. 2. If the incident occurs within 2 months of the last vaccination dose, a booster dose might not be necessary.
