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?

I recently got some blood work done because I was worried about dengue. My results showed IgG negative, IgM weak positive, and NS1 AG negative, but my platelet count is normal at 2.78. I'm a bit confused about what all this meanscould I be having dengue right now? What should I be looking out for?

It is possible that you have a recent dengue infection. To manage the symptoms and aid in recovery, you can take Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours for fever and body aches. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.
