A rat bit me last week and I already got a TT injection along with an anti-rabies shot. I'm wondering if I should go for the other two anti-rabies injections or if I'm good since I'm not really feeling any pain where the scratch is. Is there another step I should be taking here?

Yes, Tryptomer (Amitriptyline) can cause heartburn as a side effect, especially when taken in the evening.

Other possible gastrointestinal side effects of Tryptomer include nausea, dry mouth, and constipation.

To alleviate nighttime heartburn, consider taking Tryptomer in the morning or with food.

You can also try antacids or acid reducers, like ranitidine, to help manage heartburn symptoms.

Consult your doctor or prescribing physician to discuss alternative dosing schedules or medications.

They can help you balance the benefits of Tryptomer with its side effects.

I've been dealing with a sore throat and cough, and I've already tried taking Alex and Moxikind, but it hasn't gotten any better, and it's been a whole week now. Could you recommend another medicine or treatment option that might help? I'm getting a bit worried about it.

You have to start Antibiotics after examination, visit ENT doctor for the same and do salt water gargling for better results

I was supposed to take my azifast 500 pill before dinner, but I ended up missing that and took it after eating instead. Could this lead to any side effects?

Taking Azifast 500 (azithromycin) after dinner instead of before is unlikely to cause significant side effects
