What is the cause of blood blister on my kid's finger?
Hello doctor,
My daughter has a bump on her finger that looks like a blood blister but if it was, I would have heard her cry when it happened. I am hoping you can rule out spider bite or even better, tell me what is going on.
Thank you.

Why is 5-month-old baby having loose motion with pH level of 6?
Hi doctor,
I have a 5-month-old baby who is having loose motion, so got his test done for reducing substances. It has a pH level of 6 and a positive report. What does this report signify? Otherwise, he is very gassy and burps and passes gas a lot. Please help.

How often do I need to get a rabies booster for my daughter?
Hi doctor,
Two days back, I fed a stray cat by pouring a glass of milk into the cat's bowl. I am not sure if the glass touched the cat's bowl or some droplets spilled on the glass. My daughter precisely, after an hour, picked the glass from the table and put it in her mouth. What are the possibilities of rabies transmission if the cat is rabid?
Does she require a booster dose now? It is exactly five months since she received her four doses of rabies vaccine. I forced my pediatrician for a booster, and she refused saying, that it may have side effects and boosters are recommended after a year. Is she right?
Will a child have enough immunity after a second non-bite exposure within five months? I got a second opinion from three pediatricians, of which two refused, and one said there might be a negligible chance of rabies transmission, so I am confused. Am I putting my daughter at risk? I have sleepless nights thinking about it. My daughter is 18.5 months old, and she got a post prophylaxis dose when she was 14.5 months old.
It has been ten days since the incident happened.
