Question 1

I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the last four days. I got some tests done and my urine epithelial cells count came back at 45, but everything else in the urine test, including pus cells, is within the normal range. Should I be concerned about the high epithelial cells, or could it just be related to the fever? Would love to get your advice on this.

Accepted Answer

There are many causes of fever, just with this amount history it's difficult to diagnose.

Question 2

I've had a fever for the past three days and I've been taking Metacin. Every time I take it, the fever goes down, but it keeps coming back after a few hours. I'm getting worried and not sure what to do. Could it be something serious or am I handling it right?

Accepted Answer

Complete blood count,pheriperal smear for malarial parasite, dengue panel is advised to the patient and physician opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I received a full dose of the anti-rabies vaccine about 7 months back. Yesterday, my cat scratched me again, and there was a tiny bit of blood. I cleaned the scratch with soap and got a tetanus shot. Do you think it's necessary for me to get the rabies vaccine once more?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the severity of the scratch and the risk of rabies transmission, a booster dose of ARV may be considered. The standard regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis includes a series of rabies vaccine doses, such as Rabipur or Verorab, administered over a specific time period. The healthcare provider will assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.

I'm experiencing a bit of a strange sensationwhenever I cough, I feel a slight pain in my chest bone. It's not with every cough, just sometimes. I don't have any allergies and I don't smoke or drink, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on it?

it might due to muscle streching during coughing
