Patient's question:
Foaming at the mouth. I went to hug it, it bit my finger, only a little skin was broken and a little blood flowed, it looked the same as if it hadn't bitten me. Hello doctor, do I need to take medicine?Doctor's answer:
Nowadays, more and more families are keeping pets like dogs and cats. Many people feel that the dogs they raise look healthy and would never carry the rabies virus, so they don't take precautions. In fact, this is a major misconception about rabies. Healthy animals that carry the rabies virus are the most dangerous source of rabies transmission. Once bitten or scratched by dogs, cats, or other animals, never take any chances—go to a specialized hospital to clean and disinfect the wound promptly. It is best to receive a rabies vaccine within 24 hours or apply antiserum.
