Rabies Injection For Dog Bite

All cases of suspected rabies exposure should be treated immediately to prevent the onset of clinical symptoms and death. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) consists of wound treatment, the administration of rabies vaccines based on WHO recommendations, and if indicated, the administration of rabies immunoglobulin.

Local treatment of wounds

Elimination of rabies virus at the site of the infection by chemical or physical means is an effective mechanism of protection. Local treatment of wounds involving possible exposure to rabies is recommended in all exposures.

During the vaccination period, you must pay attention to rest, keep in a light diet, do not drink alcohol, and do not exercise vigorously.
Rabies vaccine is also a relatively safe vaccine. Regardless of adults or children, the incidence of adverse reactions after rabies vaccine injection is extremely low, and basically no fatal side effects are caused. The vast majority of people will not experience any reaction after being vaccinated against rabies, and only some of the vaccinated individuals may experience mild vaccination reactions. Common local injections include redness, swelling, pain, itching, and systemic symptoms such as fever, dizziness, headache, fatigue, general malaise, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. Most of these symptoms are relatively mild and can gradually releases within a few days to a week. A small number of patients will have moderate or higher fever and rash, and appropriate symptomatic treatment can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
