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'm supposed to get my second dose of the Covishield Covid vaccine, but I've also been on anti-rabies shots because I was bitten by a dog recently. I'm due for my second anti-rabies vaccine today as well. Is it safe to take both vaccines on the same day? What should I do?

I'm dealing with this fever that keeps coming and going for the past month, and my head's been hurting a lot too. I even got a corona test done, and it came back negative. What should I do next?

The doctor's concerns warrant further investigation. Consult a pediatrician or a pediatric nephrologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out kidney issues. Allergy testing and growth monitoring can also help identify underlying causes. Request diagnostic tests like urinalysis, ultrasound, or blood work to determine the cause of the puffiness under your son's eyes.

I'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?

do chest xray
