Question 1

I'm really worried about my condition. I've been dealing with typhoid for the last three months and was on monocef injections. Now, I'm constantly getting a low-grade fever between 99 and 100, especially after even a small amount of exertion, though it gets better with rest. I was just told I have a vitamin D deficiency with a level of 7.3 from the CLIA method, and my blood pressure seems low too. I'm not currently taking any medication. What could be causing all of this, and what should I do next?

2. _Avoid harsh chemicals_: Refrain from using harsh antiseptics, such as Dettol, on your genital area.

Question 2

I've been having this fever that just keeps coming back every few hours. When I take paracetamol and get some sleep, my temperature drops, and I feel completely fine, but then the fever returns after about 34 hours and I start feeling dizzy again. I'm getting really worried about this pattern. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Question 3

I'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.

Accepted Answer

no one complete dose is enough

I'm really struggling with a bad cold right now, and my nose is completely blocked. I've been taking cepodem 200 for a throat infection, but I'm not sure what else I can use for the cold because cetrizine doesn't really agree with me. Could you suggest something that might help?

Cepodem 200 is an antibiotic, but antibiotics are not effective against viruses, which cause colds.you can use allegra [fexofenadine]as an alternative to citrizen If your symptoms persist for more than 710 days or worsen, you may want to consult your doctor again.
