I'm really worried about my dad. He just spent the past week dealing with a bad cough, cold, and viral fever, and his temperature even got up to 102.4 degrees. Now hes feeling super weak, dizzy, and a bit nauseous. What should we do about this?

Your father's symptoms of weakness, dizziness, and nausea could be due to post-viral fatigue. To help him feel better, he can take Paracetamol for fever and body aches. He can also take Ondansetron for nausea. Additionally, it is important for him to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If his symptoms persist or worsen, he should seek medical attention.

Hey, I got a small scratch from my dog's teeth while we were playing yesterday. There wasn't any bleeding, but it did swell up a bit overnight and a tiny bit of skin got peeled off. It's only slightly painful. The dog is vaccinated, but should I consider taking any precautionary meds or injections?

no its fine you wont get rabies since the dog is vaccinated.
