Rabies booster dose related
Hello,I have had completed my rabies PEP (5 dose) on 28th April 2026(5th dose) with Rabivax-S. I checked my rabies antibody level on 12th July 2026 with value of 3.21 Eu/ml. On 9th August 2026 an aggressive stray dog passed very close to my leg.So out of fear I took one booster of Rabivax-S on 10th August 202. Now I feel I took this booster shot unnecessarily.Is there any harm if I don't take second booster now?I am worried if getting so many vaccines can cause any side effects. So far no major side effects Please advise.Thanks
Intermittent pain on the right side
I have been experiencing occasional pain on the right side, below the ribs, for about 3 months. The pain stopped completely for some time but started occurring occasionally again. I had an ultrasound, which showed mild hepatomegaly (mildly enlarged liver). I took two bottles of Adlive, after which the pain improved, but it later returned occasionally. The pain is now less than before. Please advise what could be the possible cause and whether I need any medicine.
Possible bat or anything
Yesterday i post about while I was sitting on a back seat of a riding bike at night. Something black colour thing came from above floor level and touch my cheeks and went. And there was no bite and scratch and pain. So i doubt if it was a bat exposure, most of the doctors here said that i should get vaccinated. But I consult two physician doctors here in Bangalore and they said my face is ok and don't suggest any vaccine. Since I am concerned about the doctor's opinions here and the two consult doctors opinions, i am very nervous. What should I do ? Should I take the vaccine as the incident was on Sunday night around 9 o clock. My family not supporting to take vaccine as no Mark found.
