If no breathlessness, restlessness, chest tightness, skin rashes or any other such problem, nothing to worry.

Hello,
The redness and itching at the rabies vaccine site after the 3rd dose are **common local reactions** and not typically dangerous. These symptoms occur due to your immune system's normal response to the vaccine.
What You Should Know:
1. Normal Reactions:
- Mild redness, swelling, itching, or pain at the injection site.
- Usually resolves within 1–2 days.
2. When to Be Concerned:
- Severe swelling, spreading rash, difficulty breathing, or high fever.
- If symptoms worsen or persist beyond 48 hours.
Immediate Care:
Apply a cold compress (ice pack wrapped in cloth) to reduce redness/itching.
Avoid scratching the area to prevent infection.
Take paracetamol (not NSAIDs like ibuprofen) if discomfort persists.
Important:
- Do not stop the vaccine series—rabies is fatal if untreated.
- If you develop dizziness, facial swelling, or breathing issues, seek emergency care.
For further guidance, consult me personally to ensure proper follow-up. You can reach me on WhatsApp: **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**.
