Do I need more doses of ARV?
Hi Doctors, I was recently bitten by a stray dog on 28th May 2026. So I went to govt Hospital to take the anti rabies vaccine. My vaccination schedules were 29th May 1st April 5th April 26th April After taking the 3rd dose on 5th April 2026 , I was again bitten by a dog on 20th April, not the same dog who bitten me previously I completed the vaccination by taking the 4th dose on 26th April. Do I need to take more anti rabies vaccine for protection? Or I am completely safe and no need for more vaccines. Please help me I am very stressed.
Urispas & Alkasol duration
Hello Most Respected Physicians here, while being away from my home town, I developed UTI with burning sensation while passing urine. I consulted a physician at that place who prescribed me Urispas tablet, BD, and Alkasol syrup, 2TSP, TDS. And recommended me to drink plenty of water. Healing began from first day onward. However the third day, I had to be at a place where there was no access to clean drinking water or public convenience. Resultantly burning sensation resurfaced though not as intense as day one. Now five days are completed without full relief. Is it safe to continue urispas & Alkasol syrup for 7 more days to get full proper relief? Many many thanks and Warmest Regards 🙏🏻🙏🏻
