My puppy is really young and going through the teething phase. It seems to bite everything, including my hands and feet. Just a day ago, it tried to bite me, and when I moved my hand away, its teeth scratched me, causing a bit of bleeding. On the same day, it also scratched me while playing, and it drew blood again. I know the puppy's mom is a stray and she wasn't vaccinated, but the puppy hasn't had any other contact with outside animals except for her. Do you think I need a rabies shot because of these scratches? Should my siblings be concerned if they've played with the puppy and were bitten, even if there wasn't any bleeding? It's been two days since the scratch. What should I do?

Rabies transmission from a scratch is very unlikely, especially if there was no saliva contact with the wound. If the puppy seems healthy and is not exhibiting symptoms of rabies, you do not need a rabies shot at this time. Your siblings are at low risk as long as they were not bitten deeply or exposed to saliva on open wounds. It's always safer to clean the wounds well and seek advice from a doctor or local health authorities if you are still concerned.

View allI've been dealing with some weird symptoms recently and I'm getting a bit worried. Two weeks ago, I woke up with a really bad sore throat. I thought it might be because I wasnt drinking enough water in the mornings, so I started drinking more throughout the day. But, then last week, I started having this intense pain on the left side, right above my hip. It was pretty bad. And now this week, Im experiencing shortness of breath, some major headaches, and on and off chest pain. If I breathe in too quickly, I end up having this coughing fit. Its all starting to concern me. Could these symptoms be connected? What should I be doing about all this?

Ive been taking gudcef plus for my typhoid, and Ive noticed I'm feeling unusually nervous, especially when I try to sleep. Could this be a side effect of the medication, or is it just because I'm sick?
