What Are The Precaution To Be Taken After Dog Bite?

I was bitten by a street dog this morning and I took medical care from nearby hospital.. what I would want to know is that whether there is any diet restriction?? I was informed by many not to consume tubers, coconut, non veg food... I also want to know whether I can wash and dress up the wound. I'd like to inform that there are 2 teeth marks and there is no severe cut or tear of flesh... Please answer my question????
