I'm really curious about the BSFPP blood test that my doctor mentioned. I know it's important to fast before some blood tests, but I'm not exactly sure how long I need to fast for this one. Could you let me know how many hours I should be fasting for a BSFPP blood test? I'm a bit worried about getting it right.

Ideally 6 hrs of gap would help for fasting sample and 90mins after food for postlinch sample

View allI'm following an anti-rabies vaccination schedule with the intradermal route and my doses were on Days 0, 3, 7, and the last one on Day 28 which I'm supposed to get on 1st August 2021. I've already had 3 doses, but today a street dog scratched me with its nails, causing minor bleeding. There's no big wound, just a scratch. Should I take an extra dose of the vaccine? I'm not sure what to do and could really use your advice.
no one complete dose is enough

I'm feeling a bit stuck because my doctor recommended Mebex Plus tablets for me, but I can't seem to find them in any pharmacies nearby. Is it okay if I just take regular Mebex instead?
No problem you have to take

I'm having these unrelenting hiccups for the past day. It's really getting uncomfortable. Could you please recommend any remedies or medications to help me get rid of them?
you can try these home remedies: Hold your breath for as long as possible. Drink cold water slowly or all at once. Swallow a teaspoon of sugar or honey. Breathe into a paper bag. Gargle with cold water. Eat a spoonful of peanut butter. If these don't work, medications like antacids, metoclopramide, or chlorpromazine can be used under a doctor's guidance.
