I got my COVID test done yesterday, and thankfully, it came back negative. However, I've been having this dry cough that's been bothering me a bit. I don't have any other symptoms, but I was hoping you could recommend some good medicine for this dry cough. What do you suggest?

View allI'm really worried because I've been feeling pretty awful this week with a fever and body aches that are making it hard for me to even walk. I've been taking Paracetamol but it's not helping much, and now I've got a runny nose too. What could be going on and should I be doing something different to feel better?
Given the severity of your symptoms, including fever, body ache, weakness, inability to walk, and running nose, despite taking Paracetamol, it's essential to consult a doctor immediately to rule out underlying conditions

I'm taking an anti-rabies vaccine from a government hospital in India. The schedule is days 0, 3, 7, and 28. I've just completed my third vaccine, and only the last one is left. But, two days after my third shot, the same dog, which is supposed to be vaccinated and looks healthy, licked my hand. Should I start the vaccination schedule from day 0 again? Also, I've heard from a physician that government-provided anti-rabies vaccines are less effective. Is this true? Can you please help me out with this?
There is no need to restart the vaccination schedule. You should still go ahead and take the 4th dose of the vaccine on the scheduled 28th day. Regarding the efficiency of government-provided anti-rabies vaccines, they are generally considered to be effective and safe. It is important to complete the full course of vaccination as prescribed by the healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies. If you have any concerns about the vaccine's efficacy, you can discuss them with your healthcare provider for further clarification.
