Worried about Rabies symptoms
I got bit by a stray dog about 36 hrs ago , I have been feeling a little feverish(very mild chills) and lethargic with loose motions, some body pain too. I took Rabivax-S and I also got full 5 dose vaccination plus immunoglobulins done , in February-March (last date of vaccination 14th March ). Is there anything to be concerned about ?
