I'm really concerned because my dad has been dealing with a viral fever for the past week. The doctor prescribed medication that required injections twice a day, and now he's got these nonstop hiccups for the last two days. Could this be related to the medication, and what can we do to make the hiccups stop?

I'm getting anti-rabies shots at a government hospital because I was a bit worried that my friend's month-old puppy might have scratched me. The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?

As its given intradermally that swelling wpould appear but will subside on its own dont massage it.

I've been feeling really sick for about three weeks now, and it's getting frustrating. I used coartem and ciprotab during the first week, and while the body pains stopped, I'm still feeling super weak and feverish. It's hard to sleep, and every morning I wake up feeling terrible. I got tested for malaria and typhoid, and both came back negative. I tried paracetamol, and it helped a bit for a couple of days, but then I went back to feeling awful. I just can't figure out what's going on with my body, and I'm really worried. Any ideas on what could be happening?
