I've got this little situation where my puppy, who's just a stray and about one and a half months old, accidentally nipped my thumb while I was feeding him. It wasn't a deep bite, just caught me for a split second, but it did break the skin a bit and I noticed a tiny bit of blood. It's been about 23 hours now, and there's no pain or bleeding anymore. I washed the area really well and put some antibacterial cream on it right away. Should I be worried about getting an injection for this, or am I good? Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing here.

I've been struggling with a really bad headache and fever that hits in the evening for the last three days. Theres no body pain or feeling of needing to vomit though. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

do fever profile

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm really curious about something is there a specific type of tablet that can actually cause a fever? I came across some information, but it wasn't very clear. Could you maybe explain if this is safe or even possible? I'm a bit worried about what I've been reading.

You can't get fever by taking tablets. There are many ways of getting infected and getting fever

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I've had a low-grade fever for the past five days, fluctuating between 97.7 in the morning to 99.6 in the evening, along with a mild heavy feeling in my head. The head issue seems to have gotten better in the last two days, and I've reduced my Dolo 650 intake to once in the evening. I used to take it twice a day before. I don't have any other symptomsmy taste is fine, no breathing issues, and my appetite is good. Could this be something serious like COVID? I'm feeling really tense about it and would appreciate some guidance.
