Am I at Risk of Rabies from Dog Bite?
It’s understandable to feel anxious after a dog bite. Rabies is a serious illness, but it is incredibly rare in properly vaccinated pets. Symptoms can include fever, headache, and confusion, which typically appear weeks after infection. Since you washed the area and received tetanus and vaccinations, you’re taking the right steps. I recommend monitoring the wound for signs of infection such as redness or swelling. If you notice any unusual symptoms or have concerns, please consult a physician. They can provide the best personalized advice and reassurance.

Will taking 6 hydrocodone/acetaminophen pills make me sleepy?
It’s understandable to feel worried after taking a higher dose of hydrocodone/acetaminophen. Tiredness is a common effect. This medication can cause sedation and drowsiness, and in larger amounts, it may contribute to more pronounced effects. It’s important to stay hydrated and rest. Monitor for any unusual symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or confusion. If you feel increasingly unwell or if symptoms worsen, please consult a physician immediately.

Harmful Effects of Soaked Raw Soya Chunks
Consuming only uncooked soya chunks can be detrimental. You may experience difficulty in digestion, possibly causing abdominal distress, bloating, and gas. Cooking soya chunks adequately facilitates easier absorption of nutrients. If consumed raw, indigestion may occur through stomach aches, gas, or bloating. Drinking enough water assists in flushing out problematic substances. Closely monitor yourself for any abdominal disturbances following raw soya chunk ingestion.

Should I get tetanus vaccine after injury?
Agar aapne 10 din pehle tetanus ka injection liya hai aur ab cut ho gaya hai, to is baat ki khud se jaanch karna zaroori hai. Tetanus vaccine ka protective effect is tarah ke injuries par helpful ho sakta hai. Agar bleeding ya infection ka koi nishan hai, to dawai zaroori hai. Choti cuts mein aapko antiseptic lagana chahiye, lekin agar cut gehra ho ya infection lag raha ho, to physician se milna behtar rahega.

How can I increase my height from 170 cm to 180 cm and what are the associated costs, time, and risks?
You should see an endocrinologist who may identify why your growth plates stop or measure your hormone levels. It is not a fact that you can increase height by shortcuts such as limb-lengthening surgery and that surgery itself carries big risks. The cost for such procedures varies greatly and is rarely covered by medical insurance.
