Do I need another vaccine after dog scratch?

Patient's Query

I got scratched by my pet dog and got my 3 Shot of vaccine and the last vaccine ended on 16 th November now again I got scratched what I have to do again I have put vaccine and must not eat non veg ?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Sometimes even after getting vaccinated, there's a small chance of needing a booster shot if you're exposed to a potential rabies source again. So, it's a good idea to visit your physician to evaluate the scratch and determine if another dose is needed. As for avoiding non-veg, well, there's no need to restrict your diet unless advised by your doctor. Just keep an eye on the scratch for any signs of infection and seek medical attention if needed.

What should i do if i drink water and still feel dehydrated

Female | 27

Feeling thirsty even after drinking water? This might be due to lingering dehydration. Your body needs enough fluids to function well. Signs include dry mouth, tiredness, and dark urine. If you're still thirsty, try drinking electrolyte beverages or eating juicy fruits and veggies to stay hydrated. Also, cut back on caffeine and alcohol, as they can dehydrate you.

Fatigue, cramps, back ache­s - they point to a nutritional lack. Vitamins and minerals from fruits and veggie­s could replenish what's missing. If symptoms linger, se­eing a doctor is important­.

I am a 32 year old male, i am suffering through cold and flu for past two days, please suggest a prescription to treat this.

Male | 33

Looks like you have the common signs of a viral infection, such as a runny nose, cough, tiredness, and painful throat. These disorders are often caused by the common cold viruses. To reduce the symptoms, non-prescription drugs such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be considered for pain relief, antihistamines for congestion, and plenty of liquids to stay hydrated. Rest is also important for recovery. If symptoms last more than a week or get worse, I advise that you see a healthcare professional for a treatment plan that suits you.

I got into a car crash back in April 2022 when I was 17. I took my eyes off the road. I was fiddling with the car radio, my head was turned towards the right and I crash the passenger side of my car into a telephone pole and all the airbags deployed. I didn’t get any facial or body injuries. I got diagnosed with bilateral tinnitus from an ENT doctor but they didn’t find any damage when they did a physical examination. I did a hearing test and I have a little bit of hearing loss. Based on my hearing test is my tinnitus permanent or temporary?

Male | 19

As an expert in the medical field, I suggest that you should see an audiologist for further examination of your tinnitus. Tinnitus could result from diverse origins for example hearing loss, eardrum inflammation, head or neck injuries, and use of certain drugs. The specialist can give the correct diagnosis and treatment alternatives specific to your case. It is advisable to seeking a healthcare professional immediacy to avoid extendes complications.

It seems that you have had persistent symptoms that are possibly due to a viral infection. Signs like a runny nose, sore throat, or fatigue are the common symptoms, which sometimes may persist in weeks. Your body will get better fast if you relax and consume liquids. Non-prescription drugs can help you feel better, but if you have any symptoms that get worse or if new ones appear, go to a healthcare provider to have a proper check-up.

Why do I have severe headache and my eyeballs hurts alot when I got sad or tension?

Female | 31

These are the signs of a tension headache. These are the types of headaches that are due to muscle tension in the back of the neck and the scalp, which can be treated with relaxation methods, over-the-counter pain relievers, and stress management to relieve the pain. If the symptoms are persistent or they worsen, you should meet with the professional neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I am 20 years old, female. I have been having high fever that comes and goes since 4 days with no other symptoms other than sharp headache and weakness. Fever goes up to 102.5. I took dolo650 only for fever

Female | 20

It sounds like you may be dealing with a viral infection that’s given you a high fever, headache, and weakness. Viruses can really knock you out. Keep in mind to drink lots of water and get some rest. Taking dolo650 for fever is good. If your fever doesn’t go down or if it becomes hard to breathe or you feel pain in your chest, then it’s time to see a doctor or go to the hospital.

Hey ive been diagnosed with low iron around a month ago, I’ve been taking iron supplements once a day as suggested by the dr, I have had some time off work as it’s been affecting my ability to do my job, I felt as though I got to a point where I could return to work so I went back Monday and I was okay but come Tuesday I felt really wobbly, dizzy out of breath and just awful, it’s quite a physically demanding job where I’m up and down stairs, ladders, carrying heavy paint, using paint machines, its really affecting my mental health, I’m worried about my financial situation if I lose my job (my employer has mentioned it’s a possibility) I’m worried about my ability to return to work and how it’s affecting not only myself but everyone around me.

Female | 25

 It seems like your persistent iron deficiency anemia is still troublesome. Low iron levels can cause symptoms like weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath, especially during physical activities. This can affect your work and mental health. Please consult your doctor if symptoms continue, as there may be issues with iron absorption or another underlying condition.

Last night a bat flew over my back and I am afraid it might have bitten me. I didn't feel the bite, but now I feel pain in my left shoulder and nausea. Given the potential risk of rabies, I would like to ask if I should seek medical attention immediately?

Male | 17

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 is a serious brain virus that commonly occurs through animal bites. Hence, it is necessary to seek medical help without delay. Rabies may be prevented if treated early, hence, it is better not to take risks.
