My 4 year old child got cut in his tongue yesterday while falling by his own teeth and today I have seen that he was playing on park wall outside house where some time dogs also roam and after that he has eaten breakfast without washing hand. Does it is a concern for rabies?

Hi..for rabies the dogs body fluid needs to get in direct touch with d humans body with cut or abrasion..if he has not been bitten or scratched by dog then no worries, still just check his tetnus injection cover.confirm with d child all the details..n if suspicious then at least watch for d dogs for at least 10 days,...dogs with rabies looks suspicious and usually dies within 10 days of acute rabies infection.
