I'm really worried because she's been running a fever for the past six days. We had a CT scan done, and the severity score came back at 925. Should we be considering hospitalization?

View allSo, I got scratched by a stray cat but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been vaccinated. I'm not really certain if it used its teeth on my skin or just scratched with its nails, or maybe both? But there's nothing to see reallyno marks, no wounds, no bleeding, and it doesn't hurt or burn at all. Do you think I should get a tetanus shot? Or is it okay to wait a month or two before doing that? Also, is an antirabies injection really necessary since there's no bleeding or visible wound? The last time I got a tetanus shot was back in May 2016, and I did clean the area right away with Dettol. What do you suggest?
burning sensation on the tongue, accompanied by bleeding and redness, can be concerning. Possible causes include: - Tongue injury or trauma - Oral thrush (fungal infection) - Geographic tongue (benign condition) - Vitamin deficiencies (e.g., B12, iron) Consult a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough evaluation guidance.

I'm wondering if fasting is necessary for a Vitamin B12 blood test. I had mine done about 3 hours after lunch, and now I'm second-guessing whether that might have affected the results. Should I think about getting it retested?
A Vitamin B12 blood test does not typically require fasting. It is usually safe to have the test done at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate. Since you had the test done 3+ hours after lunch, there is no need for a retest. The results should still provide valuable information about your Vitamin B12 levels.

Cat scratched my wrist, and I'm wondering if I just need to clean it or if there's a chance I need a vaccination. Should I be worried about tetanus or anything else? What should I do next?
It is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. Additionally, it is recommended to apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. In this case, it would be advisable to get a tetanus vaccination if you have not had one in the last 5-10 years. You may also consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice.
