Question: Hi Doctor,
Yesterday Evening One stray dog tried to catch my left hand.I checked with the owners of the dog and they told that the dog was not vaccinated. it is present in my office. My fingers were almost in its mouth but i removed my hand quickly to avoid its bite. But i could feel its toungue and teeth touch my fingers .saliva of the dog was there to my fingers. so i cleaned my hands immediately with dettol hand wash twice. After that i have throbbing pain on my middle finger and itching sensation. there was no cut on my skin by any chance. I put some ice pack on that and then today the pain hasreduced but not completely. I am sharing pics with u where in i rounded off the part. Bruise was also present, but my hands look swoolen all the time (i mean thats the ways the are ) there was mild bruise and itchinnes and throbbing pain were present yesterday but today they are reduced but still i have some pain and itching sensation and throbbing pain of nerve. Please do suggest me if i have to take rabies injection or not . Thanking you sir

thank u for ur reply doctor,I asked with the owner of the dog and he told that it's not vaccinated. so I was afraid about it . I contacted a doc he was my friends friend and he suggested not to take chance and so he asked me to take TT am boule and rabipur injection . he suggested for 0 day 3 day and 21 day. ie., 3 rabipur injections. my question is 1. can I have rabipur injection 3 only or do I need to take 05 shots bcoz when I checked the description of this it suggest for 5 shots on internet. can rabipur injection correct medication for this. r there any food restrictions when I am taking this injection..thank u
