Dengue fever

Hi Doctor, I am 32 years old and currently recovering from dengue. Today is Day 10 of my illness. My fever stopped on Day 4, and I currently do not have fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, or any bleeding. I have only mild weakness. I had a blood test today. My CBC is currently normal — platelet count 224,000/µL and WBC 6.63. However, my liver enzymes are elevated: ALT/SGPT 141 U/L, AST/SGOT 73 U/L and GGT 166 U/L. Bilirubin (0.42), ALP (98) and albumin (3.9) are normal.

Rabies fear

How long does the rabies vaccine provide protection? I’ve taken around 13–15 doses over the past year because of my fear. Two days ago, I was feeding roti to a cow, and I’m not sure whether it licked my fingers or not. I’m worried that I might need another vaccine. I also had a very small, cumin-seed-sized cut on one of my fingers,also i have completed my doses 10 days ago

Frequent urination, increased thirst

Hi Doctor, I’m a 20-year-old male and would like some guidance regarding a few symptoms. For the past 7 days, I’ve been urinating quite frequently, around 8–9 times within 12 hours. Sometimes, even after urinating, I feel the urge to urinate again shortly afterward. I’ve also noticed that I’m more thirsty than usual and have been drinking water more frequently. For the past 2 months, I’ve also been experiencing persistent fatigue/tiredness. My sleep doesn’t feel completely refreshing, even when I get what seems like enough sleep, and I often feel the need to take a ~1-hour nap during the day. I initially thought this was due to sleeping late,but the tiredness has continued even after I started going to bed earlier. I’m also currently being treated for acne.My dermatologist prescribed Doxt-SL, which I’m taking as directed:Twice daily after food for 2 weeks Then once daily 4 weeks.

Vitamin d deficiency

Hi, My Vitamin D level was 28 (insufficient), doctor prescribed 60,000 IU weekly for 8 weeks. After taking 3 doses, I noticed my heart rate goes above 100 bpm for 2-3 days after each dose. Should I stop this and switch to a lower daily dose instead? Please advise. Thanks
