Yes, rabies prophylaxis is recommended for monkey bite also. One dose of the vaccine is administered on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30 intramuscularly. Injections must be given into the deltoid region. There is no restriction of food.
Advice
1. Clean the wound with betadine liquid
2. Injection Rabipur intramuscularly on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30
3. Injection Tetvac IM stat – one dose
4. Hot fomentation with slight warm water
5. Ibuprofen 400 mg after meal per oral if pain is intolerable. Otherwise avoid it
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
