I've been dealing with a dry cough for a few days now and have been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you recommend any tablets that might work better?

I've been running a fever since last night and took sumo tablets twice, but it hasn't gone away. Should I start taking an antibiotic along with the sumo, or just stick to the sumo for now? I'm not sure what's best.

Is it normal to feel feverish after getting an anti-rabies injection? I've been feeling a bit off since I had the shot and I'm wondering if this is something to be worried about. Could it just be a side effect of the vaccine?

I've just been bitten by a cat, but luckily it didn't break the skin. There's just a small, light mark on my leg. I got a tetanus shot about three months ago, so I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to do. Should I be worried or do anything specific now?

If there is exposure of deeper skin layers or blood you have to recieve complete dose of anti rabies vaccine,if not noneed to worry just wash it with soap and leave it,and with TT vaccine as you have revieved 3 months ago,no need to take for a minimum period of 3 years.
