Hi,
Yes, you must consult your doctor immediately. First, wash that bite area by plenty of soap water. Your doctor may start VACCINE. RABIPUR and follow the dates like 0. 3. 7. 14. 28 and booster dose. It is a safe vaccine and do immediately without late.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
