I've been having a regular cough and it's really putting a lot of stress on my chest. My throat feels sore, and my nose just won't stop running. I already tried taking Cheston Cold but it hasn't helped at all. Can you suggest what might be causing this or if there's anything else I should try?

View allI'm currently on an antirabies vaccine schedule and was wondering if having a moderate amount of alcohol between the shots is safe. The vaccine consists of two doses, one on day zero and another on the third day. Are there any issues with drinking alcohol when it's not on the same day as getting the shot?

I got bitten by a street dog and my wound is just skin peeling without any bleeding. The doctor recommended 3 shots of Rabipur or Verorab, but neither was available at my nearest medical store. The person at the store sent me to a government hospital where they gave me an Abhayrab shot and told me to get 4 more. But I'm worried because the Abhayrab dose seemed really small, like just 0.10.2 ml, using an insulin syringe on each arm, whereas Rabipur seemed like it's almost 1 ml per shot. Is the government hospital giving me too little, and should I switch to Rabipur from Abhayrab? I'm really anxious about this.
The dosage of rabies vaccine can vary depending on the brand and formulation used. Abhayrab is a suitable rabies vaccine and is commonly used in government hospitals. The dosage you received, around 0.1-0.2 ml per shot, is within the standard range for rabies vaccination. It is important to follow the recommended dosage schedule provided by the healthcare provider. If you are concerned about the dosage or considering switching to Rabipur, I recommend discussing this with the healthcare provider who administered the vaccine at the government hospital. They can provide you with more information on the dosage regimen and address any concerns you may have. It is important to complete the full course of rabies vaccination as advised by the healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies.

I've been experiencing a fever with a lot of shivering. It started last evening, and I took Crocin at night, but early this morning, I had really intense shivering again and took Dolo 650. I'm concerned about what's causing this and whether I should be doing something different to feel better. Is there something specific I should keep an eye on or maybe go see a doctor?
