Patient's question:
A 2-year-old baby was bitten by a dog on their finger, and when squeezed, blood came out. There were two puncture wounds resembling needles. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: The baby was not taken to the hospital. The desired help: Will not getting vaccinated cause any adverse reactions? Even if vaccinated, there are concerns about whether it will affect the child's intellectual development.Doctor's answer:
First, how to anesthetize the vaccine, you can check the condition of that dog. If the dog shows no abnormal behavior, as long as there are no abnormalities, then there is no need to worry. Only dogs that are rabid and exhibit abnormal behavior may bite you and transmit rabies. Of course, getting vaccinated will never interfere with a child's intellectual development. So you can relax, as long as you properly treat the wound, just apply iodine. Of course, you should pay attention in the future. Children are still young, so be careful and take good care of them.
