I've been taking TB meds for 8 months and my Genexpert test came back negative. But now I'm getting fevers again, like between 101 and sometimes 99.3. What tests should I do to figure out why this is happening?

I've been recovering from typhoid that was diagnosed back on January 16, 2018. I don't have a fever anymore, just a bit of weakness and some leg pain. I'm wondering if it's okay to start working again. Also, is there a chance I'm still contagious? And since my typhoid relapsed after two years, is there any treatment available that could prevent this from happening again?

I'm kind of worried about this rat bite I got on my toe a month back. It was a small wound, but it did bleed a bit. I saw a doctor, got a TT injection, and took antibiotics to avoid infection. They also suggested I get the Anti Rabies vaccine, but I haven't gotten it yet. Do you think it's necessary for me to take the Anti Rabies Vaccine at this point?

yes you need to take rabies vaccination

I'm really worried because a dog licked a small scratch on my leg on July 10th, 2017. I started getting the rabies vaccine on July 12th, 2017, but then the dog died on July 14th, 2017. I completed all 5 doses by August 13th, but now I'm having some symptoms like shortness of breath and a mild fever. Should I be concerned about rabies even after finishing the vaccine?

continue your vaccination
