I've been dealing with going to the toilet 10 to 12 times a day, and sometimes it's even more than that. It's been happening for six months now. Any ideas on what might be going on or suggestions on what I should do about it?

Dog Bite Incident and Potential Infection Risk _Assessment:_ 1. _Minor wound_: The wound was small and healed quickly. 2. _Prompt wound care_: You washed the wound with Dettol liquid, reducing the risk of infection. 3. _Low-risk bite_: The dog's tooth only grazed the skin, and the wound didn't become infected. _Precautions and recommendations:_ 1. _Monitor for symptoms_: Keep an eye out for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus. 2. _Rabies risk is low_: Given the minor nature of the wound and the fact that the dog is still alive and healthy (sleeping in the same place every day), the risk of rabies transmission is low. 3. _Tetanus shot_: If you're not up-to-date on your tetanus vaccinations, consider getting a booster shot. 4. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule a consultation with your primary care physician or an infectious disease specialist to discuss your concerns and determine if any further action is needed. _No need for:_ 1. _Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies_: Given the low-risk nature of the incident. 2. _Immediate antibiotic treatment_: Unless symptoms of infection develop.
