I've had all three of my rabies shots right on time, but I've missed the fourth one that was supposed to be on the 15th. It's now the 16th. Is it okay to get it on the 17th, or should I be worried?

Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections. Continue taking Dolo 650 to manage fever and symptoms. Consider adding:

  1. Rest and hydration
  2. Warm liquids (e.g., tea, soup)
  3. Saline nasal drops (for congestion)
  4. Cough syrup (if needed)

I'm really worried about my HIV exposure. I took an HIV test at both 3 months and 7 months post-exposure, and both results were negative. Are these results definitive, or is there a possibility I should get tested again? I would really appreciate your guidance.

I've been dealing with a lymph node infection for a year, and at first, I thought it was just heat pimples. I had to get the wound cleaned out with an injection, hydrogen peroxide solution, and hydroheal ointment for open wounds. Currently, I'm on antibiotics and painkillers. I'm really worried about this not getting better. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?

Yes you are doing it right follow your doctors advice
