Dog bite vs throat problem
I was bitten by a street dog on april 7th. I started the 5 dose vaccination the same day and have completed 4 doses already (7, 10, 14, 21 of april) Just after 2 weeks of the dog bite i started having throat problems. sometimes it looks like an throat infection but most of the times it is the upper part of the throat (palate) that gives a burning sensation. If i touch it with my tongue i can feel roughness on the skin. Though i have had this earlier also, it use to get normal within couple of days. But now it is like this since 10 days I am afraid if this has something to do with dog bite.. I consulted a ENT doctor and he prescribed a gel to be applied before food and a vitamin tablet.. He did not give any answer regarding the dog bite.
