First time Dog bite wound

2025-01-20 07:19:29
I got bitten by a dog two days ago...in emergency I went to a private hospital first and they asked me to take a tetanus injection and one anti rabies and also two serum in one day. Which means four injection in one day and then anti rabies was to be repeated on 21, 25, 1, and 15. He gave me antibiotics and pain killers also. However, as the price of each injection was to much we went to the govt hospital which only gave me anti rabies vaccine and tetanus and told me to repeat vaccine on 21 and 25 only. He did not write any medicine also. Which prescription should I follow. What should I do?
