A stray cat scratched my hand, and I got a bit of bleeding from it. I cleaned it with Savlon and put on some antiseptic cream. I know that rabies can be spread through an animal's saliva, but is there any risk of getting rabies from this scratch? Do you think I should see a doctor about it?

I've noticed some white spots in the back of my throat and it's been feeling pretty scratchy. I'm worried it might be strep throat. I've already taken some Ibuprofen to ward off a fever, but I'm still unsure if it's really strep. What should I do next?

I've been dealing with a viral fever for over a week now, and it's stubbornly stuck around 100F. Despite taking pyrigesic 650 mg and some antibiotics, there hasn't been any improvement. Why isn't my fever going down? Should I be worried about anything else?
