Do I need another booster shot for dog scratches?

Patient's Query

I got a dog scratch from my own vaccinated dog, and got my vaccination started as well. My last dose is left and today another dog gave me a scratch on my leg so i gave to get another booster shot or something, i mean what should i do

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Getting scratches from vaccinated dogs normally isn't a big concern because they're less likely to transmit certain infections. However, if you're exposed to another scratch, it's a good idea to check in with your physician. They can assess the scratch and your vaccination status to determine if another booster shot is needed. It's always better to be cautious in these situations.

Iam 15 years boy and I have headache,fever,cold and cough from last 2 days

Male | 15

Headache, fever, cold, and cough are basically the same thing, which are viral infections such as the common cold or influenza. The reason behind these symptoms is that germs invade your body and cause sickness. To feel better, rest, drink plenty of water and soup, and take fever and headache medicines should be your top priorities.

Male | 26

Hi, it's great to hear that you have taken precautionary measures. However, it's important to remember that prophylaxis injections are not 100% effective and do not protect against all types of STDs. If you are experiencing any symptoms or have concerns about your sexual health, it's important to visit a specialist in sexual health for further evaluation and tests.

I was bit by 2 month old puppy should I worry about rabbies

Male | 25

Puppies unde­r two months rarely carry the rabies virus. Don't worry if one nippe­d you. Watch the bite area for infection signs, re­dness, or swelling. Clean the wound thoroughly with soap, and wate­r; put antiseptic too. Keep it cle­an always. If fever, he­adaches, fatigue occurs - consult a doctor promptly.

I'm 10 years old of age and I accidentally smoked a vape and I'm scared to vomit what do I do?

Female | 10

I am worried by the fact that you tried smoking a vape at such a young age. Nicotine in vapes often triggers nausea, vomiting and many other problems. If you are feeling any such issue talk your parents first, they will take you to doctor

Migraine headaches can be disabling. A good strategy would be to visit a neurologist who will detect the disease and offer the proper treatment. When seeking medical care immediately upon detection of symptoms, there's a higher chance of better outcomes and better quality of life.

Good evening sir, do you have time to talk with me, i am suffering from tonsils or throat infection

Male | 19

It seems you might have­ tonsillitis. That's when your tonsils get infecte­d and swollen. You'll likely have a re­ally sore throat, making it hard to swallow. Plus, the glands in your neck could swe­ll up too. Tonsillitis usually happens because of viruse­s or bacteria. To feel be­tter soon, take it easy and drink ple­nty of warm liquids like tea or soup. Visit your doctor to get relief from this.

Male | 36

In case you have had a high fever for a week or more, it is advisable to see your doctor. The underlying cause of this fever must be diagnosed and treated adequately. I would recommend seeing a general practitioner or an infectious disease specialist for treatment.

Yesterday at 8pm, l swallowed my tablets including pill, so after an hour one of the tablets appeared to be back and settled in my neck, l have drunk much water, ate yellow bananas but still it's on my neck, and when l try to swallow it, it moves a little bit and then comes back on my neck, up to now no change, what can l do, help me please.

Male | 18

Sometimes pills do not go down easily. To keep the problem from worsening, drink plenty of water and eat some soft foods like bananas at the beginning. Try to drink a bigger mouthful of water while you are holding your head a bit down from the tablet several times. In case the feeling still remains, or in the event of pain difficulty in breathing, or experiencing exacerbated sensations, you should seek medical aid.

I have a fever and pin body

Female | 35

Experiencing elevated temperature and discomfort can be concerning but often indicates your body is fighting an infection. Common causes include viruses or bacteria, and symptoms may include fatigue, body aches, or chills. It’s important to rest, stay hydrated, and consider over-the-counter medications to alleviate discomfort. Monitoring your condition is key—if symptoms worsen or persist beyond a few days, please consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
