I've been getting a fever at night after feeling cold for the past couple of days, but it seems to go away by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it? Would love to get some insight into what's going on.

You may be experiencing viral syndrome, or developing a viral fever. If your fever is high grade (above 100 degrees Fahrenheit), and associated with chills, you may need to undergo a blood test to rule out diseases like malaria and denggue. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.

A cat tried to bite me, and while I managed to pull my hand away, there was still a bit of contact with its teeth. There was hardly any pressure, so I didnt get a cut or even a scratch. I washed my hand and put spirit on it. Is that all I need to do, or is there anything else I should be concerned about?

I'm supposed to take an albendazole 400 mg tablet and Im just not sure how to do it. Am I supposed to swallow it with water, or should I be chewing it like candy? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarity on this.

just swallow it with water

I'm worried because I found some tiny holes in the packet of rice and noodles and I'm thinking it might be from a rat. If I cook the rice and noodles really well, is it still safe to eat them? I'm just unsure if cooking alone would make them okay, considering the rat aspect. Can you help me figure this out?
