I'm really worried about what's happening with my health lately. Around 20 days ago, I had typhoid without a fever, just mild symptoms. It came with weakness, headaches, and gas, and after a blood test, it was confirmed as typhoid. My doctor said it might have been around for 2-3 months before that. I took antibiotics for 12 days and finished them 5-6 days ago. But yesterday, I started experiencing gas problems and a heavy feeling below my chest. Mornings seem worse with intense weakness, like there's no blood in my body, sleepiness, a slight headache, and pain in both legs. I also have a slight fever, and my anxiety spikes before breakfast, though it calms down a bit after I eat. I'm curious if this is another condition or if the typhoid hasn't cleared up yet. What do you think?

It is possible that your symptoms could be related to the typhoid infection not being completely cured. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast to help with the gas problem and congestion below the chest area. Additionally, you can take a multivitamin supplement like Becosules capsule once daily after breakfast to help with the weakness and sleepiness. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further management.

I'm a bit worried because I had dengue fever 5 days ago, and when I left the hospital, my platelet count was at 150,000. But yesterday, it dropped to 140,000. Is this kind of drop normal, or should I be concerned about it?
A slight decrease in platelet count from 150,000 to 140,000 five days after discharge from dengue fever is not uncommon, as platelet counts can fluctuate during recovery; however, it's essential to monitor the trend and watch for any further significant drops or symptoms like bleeding or bruising

I got bitten by a street dog and my wound is just skin peeling without any bleeding. The doctor recommended 3 shots of Rabipur or Verorab, but neither was available at my nearest medical store. The person at the store sent me to a government hospital where they gave me an Abhayrab shot and told me to get 4 more. But I'm worried because the Abhayrab dose seemed really small, like just 0.10.2 ml, using an insulin syringe on each arm, whereas Rabipur seemed like it's almost 1 ml per shot. Is the government hospital giving me too little, and should I switch to Rabipur from Abhayrab? I'm really anxious about this.
The dosage of rabies vaccine can vary depending on the brand and formulation used. Abhayrab is a suitable rabies vaccine and is commonly used in government hospitals. The dosage you received, around 0.1-0.2 ml per shot, is within the standard range for rabies vaccination. It is important to follow the recommended dosage schedule provided by the healthcare provider. If you are concerned about the dosage or considering switching to Rabipur, I recommend discussing this with the healthcare provider who administered the vaccine at the government hospital. They can provide you with more information on the dosage regimen and address any concerns you may have. It is important to complete the full course of rabies vaccination as advised by the healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies.
