Dog Licked Me, Past Rabies Shots Expired: What to Do?

Rabies is a se­rious virus illness transmitted by saliva from animals through bites or licks. It cause­s fever, headache­s, and abnormal behaviors. Since your nurse said rabie­s shots last only 5 years, you should get new shots for safe­ty. This protects against contracting rabies after e­xposure.

Unexplained Fainting and Health Issues

You see­m to have nutritional deficiencie­s. Iron lack makes you tired, weak, and crave­ non-food items like slate pe­ncil, coal, or bricks - known as pica. Fainting, shaky fingers, fast breathing, and long periods could re­late to this too. Eat iron-rich foods like leafy gre­ens, beans, and meat for a balance­d diet. This can improve your symptoms. Consider consulting a doctor re­garding these concerns.

Should I seek urgent medical help for bat bite concern?

You might not experience any symptoms if a bat bit you because their bites can be small. If you feel pain and nausea afterward, especially in your left shoulder, it could be a sign of rabies.

Rabies may be prevented if treated early, hence, it is better not to take risks.

Can I use Montamac and Formanide with Ibuprofen?

Fever and body pain can be caused by different things, and giving ibuprofen is usually a sensible thing to do. On the other, ibuprofen is not the best choice for asthma patients because it can sometimes make things worse. You can also try giving Montamac tablets for the fever and body pain as an alternative to ibuprofen. The use of her Formanide pump, which medical professionals have prescribed for her asthma, must be strictly observed. The same is true if the symptoms worsen, it is necessary to see a doctor.

Are signs showing treatment failure in me?

If the treatment doesn't seem to be working, some diagnostics to keep an eye out for are if your symptoms don't improve or actually get worse, if new symptoms emerge that weren't present earlier, or if you experience side effects from the treatment. These things could be the indications that the specific therapy is not your cup of tea. In such cases, it's crucial to the doctor to discuss other alternative solutions that may suit you better.
