Stray Dog bite
Hello, I was bitten by a stray dog recently at night. I had scratches but didn't see any blood.I immediately washed the wound and got a tetanus shot. I also got a anti rabies vaccine shot the very next morning. And am scheduled to get 4 more shot over the course of 28 days. Since I don't know whether the dog was vaccinated for rabies and I am sure it was not vaccinated. Is there any thing else I need to do to prevent any infection also what are the dietary restrictions I need to follow?.
Thank you.

Anti rabies vaccine is the only thing that can save you from rabies, apart from immediate wound care. If possible observe the dog for 10 days if it is alive or dead.
Also, take antibiotics to prevent secondary infection

Nothing much you need to do since you are getting anti rabies and as you mentioned there was no blood so very unlikely that it was any serious bite, everything will be all right.
