Patient's question:
Dr. Li, my baby is 2 years old. Yesterday, he got a cut on his mouth and bled. Tonight, I took my baby out to play with a ping pong ball. Suddenly, a pet dog came and picked up the ping pong ball on the ground to play with it. His owner took it back and gave it to me, saying it had the dog's saliva on it. I wiped it with a napkin and gave it to my baby to play with. But then, my baby imitated the dog and lay on the ground, using his injured mouth to hold the ping pong ball. I'm very worried that my baby might be at risk of contracting rabies.Doctor's answer:
If you have already wiped the table tennis ball clean, then you will absolutely have no chance of getting infected with rabies. Moreover, even if there is a low viral content in the saliva in your mouth, it will be completely eliminated. No need to worry. The above content is the complete answer to the question: "A 2-year-old baby's mouth corner was bleeding yesterday from a fall, will it transmit rabies?" I hope the patient can soon be free from the troubles of the disease and recover quickly, living happily every day.
