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.

View allI got my first vaccine shot on May 5th. I noticed some swelling at the injection site right away, and the pain was manageable for four days. But today, my entire arm is really hurting, and it's become unbearable. I resumed taking my alprazolam today - could this pain be because of that?

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.

Hey there, I've noticed a lot of people around me are starting to use the Ziverdo Kit, which includes zinc, ivermectin, and doxycycline, even before they get COVID. Is it a good idea to take these meds as a preventive measure? I'm a bit concerned about what the side effects might be if I take them without actually being sick. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
ziverdo kit not used as preventive kit covid is due to viral infection
