Question 1

My puppy is really young and going through the teething phase. It seems to bite everything, including my hands and feet. Just a day ago, it tried to bite me, and when I moved my hand away, its teeth scratched me, causing a bit of bleeding. On the same day, it also scratched me while playing, and it drew blood again. I know the puppy's mom is a stray and she wasn't vaccinated, but the puppy hasn't had any other contact with outside animals except for her. Do you think I need a rabies shot because of these scratches? Should my siblings be concerned if they've played with the puppy and were bitten, even if there wasn't any bleeding? It's been two days since the scratch. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Rabies transmission from a scratch is very unlikely, especially if there was no saliva contact with the wound.
If the puppy seems healthy and is not exhibiting symptoms of rabies, you do not need a rabies shot at this time.
Your siblings are at low risk as long as they were not bitten deeply or exposed to saliva on open wounds.
It's always safer to clean the wounds well and seek advice from a doctor or local health authorities if you are still concerned.

Question 2

I've been dealing with a bad throat cough and mucus for a couple of days now. My doctor gave me Azee and Dolo 650, but I havent started taking Dolo yet and have only had two doses of Azee so far. My fever is still at 100 degrees. Is this normal for a minor throat and seasonal infection? How long is it expected to last?

Accepted Answer

take dolo and continue Azithromycin for 3 more days

Question 3

I'm wondering about eating non-veg around the time I get my vaccine. Is it okay to have non-veg the day before I get vaccinated? And what about on the day of or after the vaccine? Can you tell me if it's safe or if I should avoid it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is safe to eat non-vegetarian food both before and after taking the vaccine. There is no specific dietary restriction for consuming non-veg around the time of vaccination.
Just ensure you are eating balanced meals and staying hydrated to support your immune system post-vaccination.
