What is the symptoms of dog bite

2018-07-31 02:52:47
A few hours back a stray dog bit me while I was feeding it food. Though I feel normal except for a slight fever, I am worried of infections or probably contracting a disease due to that dog bite. Can someone please tell me what are the symptoms of dog bite? Should I visit a doctor for my slight fever?

If it is stray dog, you will be needing anti Rabies injections following the bite. Please visit your nearest medical facility and get the injections.
