View allI had an E. coli infection before and now it seems to be coming back there's pus leaking from the surgery site where they drained the previous infection. Is this a sign the infection returned or something else going on?
Pus after prior E.coli abscess drainage could mean reinfection.Need clinical evaluation and possibly repeat antibiotics or drainage.

I've been having a fever for the past 78 days, and my temperature's been hanging around 98.6 to 99 degrees Celsius. I was on antibiotics after seeing a doctor, but with my recent blood test, it says S. typhi H is positive at 180. Even with the medication from the doctor, my fever is still at 99 degrees. Can you please tell me what's going on or what I should do next?

My dog, who is regularly vaccinated for rabies and seems really healthy, bit my husband on the jawline. We quickly took care of it with a bandage and got him injections for pain and tetanus. Its been 12 hours now, and Im a bit on the fence about whether we should go ahead with a rabies vaccination. The doctor didnt particularly insist on it and just gave us some meds for pain and infection to take over the next five days. Do you think we should still go for the rabies shot?
In this situation, since your pet dog is already vaccinated for rabies and is in a healthy condition, the risk of rabies transmission is low. However, rabies is a serious and fatal disease, and it is important to consider the circumstances of the bite. Given that the bite occurred on the jawline, which is a high-risk area for potential transmission to the central nervous system, it is recommended to err on the side of caution and get the rabies vaccination. The rabies vaccination regimen typically involves a series of injections. It is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider. In addition to the pain and infection medications prescribed for five days, you should also consider getting the rabies vaccination to ensure complete protection against rabies.
