I've been feeling a weird pain in the bone area near my chest, just to the left of the breastbone. It really hurts when I press on it, and sometimes I get this sudden shock-like pain when I breathe. When I don't press it, there's usually no pain. What could be causing this?

View allI'm a bit worried about a cat bite I got recently. Can you tell me how long the anti-rabies vaccination stays effective? And is it necessary to get a tetanus shot after a cat bite too? I've had some vaccinations before, but I'm not sure if I'm still covered. Would love your thoughts on this.
A full course of Rabies vaccination may provide protection for upto 5 years. Estimation of anti-rabies antibody level in the blood may help in this regard. A single booster dose of rabies vaccine once a year for those at high risk is harmless and may provide adequate protection. Tetanus vaccine is needed when there is open wound. But a single booster dose can be protective for upto 5 years.
