Patient's question:
This afternoon, I got a dog bite and my skin was torn a bit, but I haven't gone to the doctor yet.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you are bitten or scratched by a dog and there is bleeding, there is a risk of contracting rabies. It is important to clean the wound with soap and water and disinfect it with tincture of iodine. Get vaccinated for rabies within 24 hours. Follow the schedule to receive five doses of the vaccine. It is recommended that you take your child to the pediatric department of the hospital for treatment. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting cold or fever again. For now, you should have a light diet, and the child should drink more water to speed up the excretion of metabolic products and promote recovery. At the same time, enhance care.
