I've got a question. I was bitten by a cat and got a TT shot the next day. I've also started my antirabies vaccine. After my first dose, I drank some lemon juice. Should I be worried about that?

These symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection or food poisoning. Consider the following:
Rest and stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or sports drinks. Take anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide or consult a doctor for prescription medication. Apply heat to the stomach to alleviate cramps and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for joint pain. Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, persist, or are accompanied by bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing.

View allI'm really worried about my brother who's had a fever for about a week now. The fever comes and goes and our family doctor suggested a Widal test. His results came back with S. typhi O 180, S. Typhi H 180, S. Paratyphi AH 120, and S. Paratyphi BH 120. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Could you tell me if it looks like he has typhoid?
report it normal but it will not exclude the possibility by 100% because there may be false negative , consult physician and show the report

I recently had sex with a prostitute and even though I was using a condom, it ended up staying inside her after I ejaculated. I went and got an HIV test and it came back negative, but I'm still a bit anxious. Should I consider taking Post Exposure Prophylaxis?
