We attended one pet event on 11th April, my son got tiny scratches of chest. We have given first dose of Rabies on 14th April, ( is it too late)? Second dose onward we shifted to Municipality hospital. Second dose taken on 17th April and Third on 21st April and now 4th dose will be on 11th May. As per Municipality 4 does is good enough, is it correct?
My 78-year-old grand father had recent hip surgery 15 days ago
Initially (few days after surgery), he had:
confusion and delirium which improved after we started melatonin 3mg.
But for the last 3 days:
during daytime he is mostly normal
At night (after ~9 PM), he becomes very restless:
keeps turning left - straight continuously
cannot stay in one position even for a few seconds
asks to sit every 10–15 minutes, sits briefly, then lies down and repeats
appears sleepy but unable to fall asleep
There are no hallucinations now, but restlessness is severe.
His reports show low sodium (129).
His sugar in today morning - 78
2 hours After lunch (just 2 spoon) - 90
He is also eating very little. He doesn't like taste of anything at all. No juice, no food nothing. He's hardly eating 2-3 spoon. So somehow I started giving him ORS twice a day.
And yes He's very stubborn person - doesn't like to go or stay in hospitals. even for broken bone surgery we had to convince him too much.
I got a small cut in my hand with a rusty lock. My last tetanus injection was in April 2023 during delivery time. Do I need an injection now? Attaching pictures of hand and lock.
Hi Doctor, I’m 13 years old and I’ve had a fever for 4 days now. Yesterday my temperature reached 101.9°F.
My symptoms are:
Constant throbbing pain in my back.
A wet cough (not dry).
A very blocked nose that makes it hard to sleep.
I’m currently taking Paracip and Cetcip as prescribed by a doctor yesterday, but the fever is still hanging on. I wanted to check if there’s anything else I should do, especially for the back pain and the nose blockage.
I am having stomach pain for past 2 days and anything I am eating, vomiting happens. Please suggest me the prescription
