Question 1

I've been really worried since I was diagnosed with COVID last month and got treated with remdesivir. When they discharged me, my CRP was 3.5 but then it jumped to 8.1 the next week and 13.4 in the second week. Plus, I developed an allergy around my neck, but that has cleared up now. Can you please advise on how to get my CRP levels down?

Accepted Answer

Take antibiotics

Question 2

I've had a cold for the past four days, and now it's moved to my chest. I've been on amoxycillin that was prescribed by my doctor. Today, I've started feeling a heavy head too. Are there any medicines you can recommend to help ease my headache?

Accepted Answer

ibuprofen tab

Question 3

I'm dealing with a dry cough and throat infection, and I'm not sure which medication would be more effective. Should I go with Clavem 625 mg or Gudcef 200? I'm a bit confused about which one would be better for my situation. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

Rabies Transmission_

1. _Rarely transmitted by rats_: Rats are not typical carriers of the rabies virus.
2. _Usually transmitted by infected mammals_: Dogs, cats, bats, and other mammals are more likely to transmit rabies.

_Tetanus Injection_

1. _Tetanus protection_: You've received protection against tetanus, which is a common concern with animal bites.

_No Anti-Rabies Injection (Yet)_

1. _Monitor for symptoms_: Watch for rabies symptoms, such as fever, headache, or unusual sensations around the bite area.
2. _Consult a doctor_: Inform your doctor about the rat bite and the lack of anti-rabies injection. They may recommend:

- Observation and monitoring
- Anti-rabies vaccination as a precaution
- Further treatment or testing

_Please Note_

1. _Rabies risk is low_: Given the rarity of rabies transmission by rats, the risk is relatively low.
