Does Chills, Sore Throat And Anxiety After Being With Animals Indicate Rabies?

Hi, I am in Indonesia and have been în contact with dogs and monkeys for 1 week now. Both have nibbled at me but I havent been bitten. Yesterday I started feeling some of the symptoms of rabies and was wondering whether I should be concerned. I have been feeling chills sore throat irratability and anxiety. However these symptoms only last for a short period of time. For rabies are these symptoms continuous.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that yes symptoms of rabies are severe and continuous. One of the important symptom of rabies hydrophobia fear of water is not present in your case, which causes exclusion of rabies further. So your condition is not related to rabies and it is something different.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
