I've been feeling really sick for about three weeks now, and it's getting frustrating. I used coartem and ciprotab during the first week, and while the body pains stopped, I'm still feeling super weak and feverish. It's hard to sleep, and every morning I wake up feeling terrible. I got tested for malaria and typhoid, and both came back negative. I tried paracetamol, and it helped a bit for a couple of days, but then I went back to feeling awful. I just can't figure out what's going on with my body, and I'm really worried. Any ideas on what could be happening?

I got scratched by a stray dog's nails and my doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but he still recommended I take three doses of the Verorab IM vaccine on days 0, 3, and 7. I've already finished them, but I'm concerned because I read that the usual anti-rabies treatment involves five doses on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Do you think I should get the additional doses on days 14 and 28, or are the three enough?

For your safety, it's recommended to follow the standard 5-dose regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis against rabies, which includes doses on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28.

I've got a question about tetanus. I got the vaccine a couple of months back, but now I've got this small cut on my finger, and some dirt got in it. There's a bit of blood. Do I need to get another tetanus shot, or am I covered? I'm just a bit worried about it.

If you have had a tetanus vaccine within the last 5 years, you should not need another dose for a minor wound like a small cut on your finger. However, it is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage.

I'm wondering if it's okay to take OMEED with Cheston cold tablets. The pharmacist at Apollo Pharmacy said it was alright, but I just want to make sure it's safe. Is there anything I should be worried about combining these two?

yes can be taken
