Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you were bit by a dog today morning for which you have consulted your doctor.

Proper and adequate treatment of dog bite is very important as rabies is 100% fatal but it is 100% preventable.

You need to take tetanus inj and antirabies vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 on to the shoulder.

There is no food restriction you can have regular foodwhat you are consuming daily and there is no restriction of non veg food during the treatment. But if you are a alcoholic or smoker you have to avoid it.
Thank you.
