Do I need to have an empty stomach for the dengue test? The person from Lal Path Labs will be here in about an hour, so I want to make sure I'm prepared.

Question

Hey, I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. My wife and I, both 35, went through mild Covid symptoms recently and thankfully, we're negative nowit's been about three weeks. During our treatment, we didn't take Aspirin or any other blood thinners. Should we consider taking any blood thinners now that we're recovering? Any guidance would be really helpful.

Question

I'm a bit worried because my guinea pig bit me on the finger about 10 days ago, but there wasn't any blood drawn. I've had a pretty thorough vaccination history with anti-rabies shots, like 5 full doses of Abhayrab in January 2021, 2 booster doses in August 2021, and another booster of Rabipur in September 2021. Now I'm wondering if I should get another booster dose? My guinea pig seems to be just fine and alive after these 10 days, but should I still be concerned?

Question

I've been feeling under the weather since this morning after drinking really cold water. My throat's sore and it hurts to swallow anything, plus I feel like I've got a bit of a fever. Could this be a throat infection? What should I do to feel better?
