Hi, Im sorry youre in pain. A hard, painful lump after an injection could indicate inflammation or an abscess. Apply a warm compress to reduce pain and swelling, avoid pressure on the area, and consult a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment.

I recently finished an anti-rabies vaccine course back in September 2016, but today, on November 14, 2016, I got bitten again by my young dog on the lower lip. There's a small wound with some bleeding involved. The dogs just 5.5 months old and has all his vaccinations up to date. Do I need to get vaccinated again? What should I do now?

YES its better get two booster doses at an interval of 2 weeks.

I'm dealing with a pretty bad throat and chest infection, and I'm trying to make sure I'm taking the right medicine. I've got Azithromycin and Gudcef CV along with Ofloxacin 800. I'm worried about the right dosage for Azithromycin each day. Can you help me figure out what the max dose should be? I really want to make sure I'm being safe.

I've been feeling a weird pain in the bone area near my chest, just to the left of the breastbone. It really hurts when I press on it, and sometimes I get this sudden shock-like pain when I breathe. When I don't press it, there's usually no pain. What could be causing this?
