I'm really worried about my dad. For the past few days, he's been complaining of severe back pain and just seems super tired. He's also been having trouble breathing normally, like he has to take deep breaths and it's kinda like he's struggling. Plus, he feels like he might vomit but hasn't actually thrown up. Everything else seems okay, like his bathroom habits and appetite, but you can just tell by looking at him that he's exhausted. What could be going on with him?

I'm getting anti-rabies shots at a government hospital because I was a bit worried that my friend's month-old puppy might have scratched me. The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?

As its given intradermally that swelling wpould appear but will subside on its own dont massage it.
