Does not need any tablet or specific food advice except antibiotic if wound was dirty or looks infected. Complete antirabies vaccination schedule as advised. Keep you wound clean, do daily dressing. Watch for any signs/symptoms of rabies and consult doctor immediately. Watch the Dog atleast for 7 days for signs/symptoms of rabies.
