Dengvaxia is available in some countries for vaccination and had some safety issues post marketing. ICMR has developed and has done trials on a tetravalent dengue vaccine which is supposed to release soon.

I'm really worried because I was bitten by a dog and someone mentioned it could be rabid. How long should I be on the lookout for symptoms of rabies to show up? I've heard it can vary. Can you tell me what the shortest and longest time frames usually are for most people?

Loose and painful testicles can be concerning. Possible causes: 1. Varicocele (enlarged veins) 2. Hydrocele (fluid accumulation) 3. Epididymitis (inflammation) 4. Testicular torsion (twisted spermatic cord) Nutritional deficiencies are unlikely to be the primary cause. The urologist's assessment and echo test results suggest no underlying structural issues. However, to alleviate symptoms, consider: 1. Wearing supportive underwear 2. Applying warm compresses 3. Managing stress 4. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle Schedule a follow-up with your urologist to re-evaluate and address any concerns.

I'm getting my rabies vaccines right now and I'm wondering if it's okay to eat non-veg like mutton and chicken during this time. Can you advise me on this?

There is no specific diet restriction while on rabies vaccination regimen. You may consume a non-veg diet without concern.
