I've been feeling really tired and weak after doing any kind of work, and it's been worrying me. A couple of weeks ago, I had a constant low-grade fever and sore throat that lasted for 15 days. My doctor recommended a WIDAL test, and it came back positive. But for the last three days, I havent had a fever or sore throat. Im currently taking Crocin and Doxcefo as prescribed. I'm confused about whether I'm actually dealing with typhoid, because my symptoms seem to have disappeared except for this lingering weakness. Could it be something else, or is this typical of typhoid recovery?

I accidentally took a 500mg azithromycin tablet thinking it was an anti-allergic medicine. Should I continue taking it for the full 3-day course, or is it okay to stop now and not take any more?

I recently got a haircut and accidentally ended up with a small cut from the barber's scissors. I'm really anxious about whether this might transmit HIV. Could scissors carry the virus like that?

The risk of HIV transmission through a minor cut from barber scissors is extremely low, as HIV cannot survive for long outside the human body, and the virus is not transmitted through casual contact or minor cuts; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting a doctor or getting a HIV test after the window period (3-6 months) for peace of mind.

I had a drink before getting vaccinated, and now I'm worried if the vaccine will still be effective. Do I need to get another shot? What should I do going forward? I'm looking for some advice.

Consuming alcohol before vaccination may not significantly impact the vaccine's effectiveness
