Suggest Anti-rabies Vaccination Dosage For A Dog Bite
Question: about 5 days ago I got a "minor" dog bite on my left thumb...one fang. Bled quite a bit, is still somewhat bruised looking. Today it began to itch quite a bit. Is this normal progression for such a dog bite? What should I put on it?
Brief Answer:
Most likely normal, local desinfectant advisable
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
from your description this sounds like normal progress. best is to put a local wounddesinfectant on it twice a day, which you can get in a drug store.
Best regards
