I got a little scratch from a stray kitten who hasn't been vaccinated yet. It wasn't really bleeding, so I put off getting vaccinated myself. I ended up getting the rabies shot 44 hours after and a tetanus shot after 28 hours. Do you think this was too late, or am I still okay? I'm a bit worried and would love your take on it.

View allI'm covid positive and I'm really worried about my 7-month-old baby boy. Is he safe being around me? And how serious is my condition?
Your 7-month-old baby may be at risk of contracting COVID-19 from you, as the virus can spread through close contact. It is important to take precautions such as wearing a mask, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining distance as much as possible to protect your baby. As for the severity of your condition, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion, or bluish lips or face, seek medical attention immediately. For COVID-19 treatment, you can take medications such as paracetamol for fever and body aches, and antiviral medications like Remdesivir under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm kind of worried about this rat bite I got on my toe a month back. It was a small wound, but it did bleed a bit. I saw a doctor, got a TT injection, and took antibiotics to avoid infection. They also suggested I get the Anti Rabies vaccine, but I haven't gotten it yet. Do you think it's necessary for me to take the Anti Rabies Vaccine at this point?
yes you need to take rabies vaccination

I'm really worried about typhoid and how it's passed between people. Can it be spread through kissing or other close contact? How likely is it to be transmitted from one person to another this way?
Typhoid fever is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. It is typically transmitted through the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Salmonella typhi. However, close contact with an infected person can increase the risk of transmission. It is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and avoiding sharing utensils, to help prevent the spread of typhoid fever. If you suspect you have been exposed to typhoid fever, antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin can be prescribed for treatment.
