Flu

A street dog had placed a ball in its mouth. One month (30 Days) later, I touched and played with the same ball. Without washing my hands afterward, I consumed food (oral ingestion). My questions are as follows: a) Is rabies vaccination required in this case? b) For how long and maximum can the rabies virus survive on surfaces? c) Can rabies be transmitted through oral ingestion, such as eating contaminated food? d) What is the appropriate response if a dog licks intact (unbroken) skin? e) Should indirect exposure scenarios like this be considered a rabies risk? f) Is it possible to contract rabies from environmental sources—for example, by touching a contaminated object and then eating without washing hands?

I recently got blood test and my ferritin levels are 25.40ng/ml. I feel tired and sleep deprived.should I start with iron supplementation.

This jock itch problem is irritating me a lot. Tried using luliconazole 1% cream but not showing better effects. Can you please suggest me any other creams. Also I wash my private region with soap is it okay or should I use anything else?

Fever and chills, shivering too much from inside, feeling cold from inside even in 40°c heat. Shivering and fever like happening always.

I have fear for rabies,so want to take vaccination. In which hospital I can get vaccine and what is duration.

While I was watching a movie in the cinema hall, i felt some insect bite like sensation in my leg but in darkness could not give much attention & later during intermission noticed food items being strewn on the floor. After coming home I saw a single bite like mark(skin break) in the sheen bone area. If there is a chance of a Rat bite then what treatment should I take ? Already took tetanus toxoid vaccine today. Anti rabies vaccination taken in August 2022 - 4 doses (Dog scratch), January 2023 - 2 doses(Dog scratch), June 2024 - 2 doses (Cat scratch). Thank You for valuable advice.

From the last 4-5 days when I'm coughing it pains me on the right side of the chest it happens only during coughing and when I lay down straight or on the right side. At times it doesn't even hurt during coughing as well but at times it's there. I'm worried and seeking guidance.

I have possible exposure on 9 may 2025, I have checked HIV CMIA LAB TEST FROM DR LAL PATHOLOGY LAB IT IS NEGATIVE ON 27JUNE 2025, PRACTICALLY SHOULD I CONSIDER MYSELF SAFE OR DO SOME OTHER TEST AS WELL...

I have persistent jaw pain sometimes at night for several hours. I had some cocktail today and it came back. It happens in my left jaw and happens in other areas of face as well. My ecg, echo and tmt were normal as I went to a cardiologist the first time I had it.

I've been experiencing muscle spasms much more frequently lately. They used to occur about once every three months, but now it's happening almost weekly. What's more, they're no longer confined to my legs; they've spread to my upper body. I even get jaw spasms during yawning, which are so severe they lock my mouth open for 20-30 seconds, causing significant pain. I also experience painful leg cramps during sleep if I stretch. I am drinking enough water and checked Vit D level is 20ng/mL.
