I'm really worried because I accidentally drank some water that my auntie's dog had been drinking from. I'm scared about the possibility of rabies. A while back, in December 2017, I got the Equirab and Verorab vaccines after I was bitten by a dog. Do I need to get another rabies shot now?

Immediately rinse your mouth and throat with clean water, then drink plenty of safe water to help flush out your system; monitor yourself for symptoms like fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, which can indicate leptospirosis or other waterborne illnesses;

I'm currently on MDR drugs and have been for the past 16 months. Initially, I was on capreomycin injections daily, along with thiomide E 750 mg, pyrazinamide 2000 mg, moxifloxacin 400 mg, and clofazimine 100 mg. Now my doctor is suggesting that I stop the medication, but some people are saying I should continue for 18 to 24 months. Can you help me understand if I should stop the medication as advised or continue for a longer duration? I'm really worried about what's best for my health.
