Is There Any Possibility Of Having Rabies After Being Bitten By Pet Vaccinated Dog Followed By Terrible Throat Pain?
hi
I have bitten by my pet dog (Vaccinated for rabies) before 12 days. I observed her for 10 days but there was no change in her behavior. Now I have terrible throat pain. I have cough and took medicine for that. Is there any possibility to have rabies on me.

Hi, i had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Once the dog is vaccinated and its normal after 10 days of biting, There is no scope for rabies attack. But clean the wound with antiseptic lotion.
Coming to throat pain, it could be infection like pharyngitis. Consult a physician for evaluation of pain.
Hope this guides you. thank you.
