I'm dealing with worms and it's been bothering me for a bit now. I'm also breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe to take medication for the worms while I'm feeding? I'm just really worried about any possible effects on my baby.

I've been dealing with fever and this constant tiredness for about 20 days now. I even did blood tests for malaria and typhoid, but everything came back negative. I'm not having any issues like irritation while passing urine either. I've been taking paracetamol, and it helps for a bit, but then the fever and tiredness just come back. What might be going on?

I've been using dolo 650 for my fever, but it doesn't seem to be working. Are there any other fever medicines you would suggest?

The 0.3ml anti-rabies booster dose provides immunity for at least 2-5 years, and possibly up to 10 years. Since you received the booster dose on January 9 and 12, you should still have adequate immunity. Given the cat bite on January 28, you are likely protected against rabies. However, it's essential to consult your doctor or a medical professional for guidance. They may recommend post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) or monitoring, depending on the severity of the bite and other factors. Seek attention immediately to ensure your safety.
