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 experiencing a lot of body heat lately, and it's making my legs burn and my heels hurt. I'm also feeling really fatigued. A couple of months back, I found out my B12 levels were really low. Could the low B12 be linked to this excess heat in my body? Do you have any advice or suggestions for managing these symptoms or any medication that might help?

I've been using dolo 650 for my fever, but it doesn't seem to be working. Are there any other fever medicines you would suggest?

The 0.3ml anti-rabies booster dose provides immunity for at least 2-5 years, and possibly up to 10 years. Since you received the booster dose on January 9 and 12, you should still have adequate immunity. Given the cat bite on January 28, you are likely protected against rabies. However, it's essential to consult your doctor or a medical professional for guidance. They may recommend post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) or monitoring, depending on the severity of the bite and other factors. Seek attention immediately to ensure your safety.
