Severe dog bite. 2 Wound upto 1cm deep
Stray dog bit my 5 year old daughter. It's a severe puncture wound. I went to nearby doctor he gave 4 rabieshield vaccines to her. And didn't gave Titus vaccine. He said as she already had her 5years Dptt vaccine done so no need for Titnus vaccine.
Is the treatment going well? Will she have any problems in future. Will she get infection in future.? As I have heard many cases regarding dog bite which showed it effect after 20-21 years.
