Hello sir, I am a 27 year male abinash and I am from nepal. On 17th october 2021 one street dog was in pain because when I was trying to touch her hip area she tried to bite but when touching her head the dog was normal. Then I thought someone hit on her hip area because she can’t even move her so I injected painkiller intramuscularly but accidentally that needle pricked my finger and blood came out. I thoroughly wash it with alcohol sanitizer and took tetanus toxoid but next day dog was died and then I worried and start rabies vaccination from 19 october but unfortunately hrig (human rabies immunoglobulin) was not available and didn’t took it then I continue start to take vaccine (vero cell) intradermal as according to schedule and today is 7th day and I took 3rd dose of anti rabies vaccine without hrig so, my question is just assuming the dog was rabid then anti-rabies vaccine alone will protect me or not. I am very afraid because I didn't take hrig so please give me a suggestion. What further do. Or anti rabies vaccine will be sufficient for me. Please reply to me.

2.Bathing in an anti-itch solution. Baking soda baths can soothe skin and reduce irritation. Adding witch hazel to a bath is another effective home remedy.
3.Applying aloe vera. The healing properties of aloe vera may soothe and reduce hives. It is advisable, however, to do a skin test before...more

When the girl with Rh negative blood group delivers the first child she develops antibodies in the blood and which can harm the occurrence of the second child and so for preventing it we give anti-Rh injection within 36 hours of delivery and remember there is no harm to the mother and the living child

IgE antibodies are normally found in small amounts in the blood, but higher amounts can be a sign that the body overreacts to allergens. This can lead to an allergic reaction. IgE levels can also be high when the body is fighting off an infection from a parasite or with some immune system conditions.Variations in the upper limit of normal total serum IgE have been reported: they can range from 150 to 1,000 UI/ml; but the usually accepted upper limit is between 150 and 300 UI/ml.

If there was bleeding (even a drop) at the site of wound/bite, you should take ars (immunoglobulin)-in the wound.
But if there was no bleeding, only ars on days 0,3,7,28 is enough.
Also tt if not taken in 3 months.
