The rabies vaccine is absolutely necessary after a bite or scratch from mammals. Getting vaccinated beforehand is optional but still very useful, as it will reduce the number of shots needed if you are bitten later.

When do one need such drinks?

I’m sorry, this may not be very relevant, but what use are such electrolyte drinks?

Officially, those are the jobs of family medicine practitioners.

Iron deficiency is very, very common in Thai children. Mass supplementation with iron is a sensible tool to help Thai children. It’s not a perfect method but not unwarranted. If your child is blood tested and shows no signs of iron deficiency, then you can toss it in the bin. But only after testing.

It’s cold and flu season.

You should see a rheumatologist. If one is hard to find maybe a good internal medicine.

It's cold season, and dozens of respiratory viruses are circulating as they do every year. These include COVID, flu, and RSV, but are not limited to those. There's no need to be more alarmed than usual for this time of year.

if the girl can speak Thai calling 1663 is the best way.

Such a reaction is not common but it could happen to anyone. Your previous reaction to another or even the same vaccine doesn't predict what will happen This time. It's standard to be cautious.

If the internet bill has her name and current address on it I think it's worth a try and will likely work.

It is unwise to believe or disbelieve something someone says on the internet based solely on their claim of being a professional or not.

When you work in a hospital you get to see several people get bitten by unvaccinated dogs every day.

Getting a rabies vaccination before being bitten is a good idea especially when planning to come to Thailand because there are many free-roaming unaccounted dogs virtually everywhere. If you were previously vaccinated when you got bitten you only need a booster regimen, not a full regimen, and the passive immunity (the serum antibody) is not needed.

I think you should get another dose on day 7 so that you undeniably have completed the pre-bite regimen.

ผมว่าเจ้าของโพสไม่ได้ก็อปวางมาหรอก เพราะมีจุดผิดพลาดแบบคนเพิ่งเรียนภาษาไทยหลายจุด อย่างการใส่ไม้เอกในคำว่าอยาก (เป็น อย่าก) ซึ่งจริงๆ แล้วไม่จำเป็น เพราะคำว่าอยากมีเสียงต้นเป็น อย ที่ทำให้แม้เสียงจะเป็น ย ซึ่งเป็นอักษรต่ำ แต่ผันวรรณยุกต์แบบอักษรกลาง พอมีตัวสะกดเป็น ก ทำให้คำนี้เป็นคำตาย ดังนั้นเสียงเมื่อไม่มีวรรณยุกต์จะออกเสียงเป็นเสียงเอกอยู่แล้วโดยไม่ต้องใส่ไม้เอก

Everyone is saying go see an ENT or otolaryngologist and I would back those suggestions. You may have developed sinus problems which may need long-term treatment with or without medications.

I think they mean wait for the northern strain.

The quality of free Thai healthcare is only decent or just acceptable, but its efficiency is nearly infinite due to the low cost.

‘Flooding of the lung’ is the common Thai term for pulmonary edema. It can be found in pneumonia, heart failure, and many other causes. The common Thai terms for pneumonia are 'swelling lung' and 'inflamed lung.' ‘Flooding of the lung' is hardly ever used for pneumonia.

Fewer people die from curable diseases, but they will eventually die from something, so we see more people dying from incurable conditions.

Did the doctor prescribe any medicine? Two weeks and a blood test sound a lot like a follow-up for thyroid function after initiating thyroid medication. It is not unheard of for a doctor to find an abnormal lab test, explain everything to the patient, and the patient doesn’t remember much, assuming it’s normal. If you choose to go to another hospital, it would be best to ask for the laboratory results and bring all the medication, if any, with you.

It depends on the condition. Some children with autism-like behavior don’t actually have autism, and a few behavior changes from parents can go a long way. Some might need medicine, some might need help to attend regular school, and some might require special schools. Every province has at least one such special school. There are supports available that can be accessed. It might not be perfect everywhere, but they exist.
