Hello, I am Dr. Souvik Biswas, in your case I will advise you to wash the area with soap and water and you can apply betadine as this kills the rabies virus. Do not squeeze or cut the area. Keep an eye over the dog for 14 days. Always be serious with the dog bite marks, small or big. As you will not get any second chance after being infected with the rabies virus. Take
- Inj. TT, Inj. Rabies vaccine (full course of both), PCM, Pan after consultation.
You can get my consultation on practo, here. Thank you.
