I'm a bit worried because my pet dog just bit me and the wound is bleeding. The dog is up to date with all its vaccinations, but I'm still concerned. Do I really need to go for a rabies shot, or am I safe since the dog is vaccinated?

If your pet dog is fully vaccinated against rabies, the risk of rabies transmission is low. However, it is still recommended to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection. Additionally, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with a sore throat from a bacterial infection, and my doctor told me to take Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days. I'm wondering if it's okay to take the first dose at night, or should I wait until tomorrow morning? And if I do take it tonight, when should I take the second one, tomorrow morning or tomorrow night?

-You can take the first dose at night. After that, take the second dose the following morning and continue once a day for the next two days as prescribed. Make sure to space the doses about 24 hours apart for best results.
