I'm really worried about my husband. He's dealing with chicken pox right now and besides the rash, he's got a really bad headache and fever. It's making me anxious. Is this normal with chicken pox, or should we be more concerned about these symptoms? What should we do to help him feel better?

I'm kind of worried about a small wound on my finger. I'm not sure if it's from my dog biting or scratching me while we were playing. I even saw a little blood near my dog's nose, which made me start thinking. I read online that rabies symptoms can take 2-3 weeks to show up. Should I be concerned about rabies or get it checked by a doctor?

Since you are unsure if it was a dog bite or scratch, it's important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. To be safe, you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and possible rabies vaccination. In the meantime, you can take a tetanus shot to prevent any infection from developing.

I've been dealing with a sore throat and a mild cold for a couple of days now and thought I should take Cheston Cold Total, which seemed to help a bit. But it's been over two days, and I'm still not feeling 100%. Is there anything else I should consider taking or doing to feel better? Any advice would be appreciated.
