Suggest Treatment For Dog Bite

I am from chennai. my 5 yrs old son was bitten by my neighbours puppy. it is not a hybrid dog.

he had a thin scratch at one side and a small dot like teeth impression on the other side both an inch apart. There was little blood on both these spots.

My wife was not sure if it was due to dog's teeth or nail or because my son fell down.



We took him to a local linic and gave TT and some antobiotic And the rgular vaine whih was poending ofr the 5th year after birth.



I Dont thnk the dotor gave him dog bite related medicine. I am very worried about this. should i get him anti -rabies vaine now?

Please advice.

I reviewed your history.
Dog bite needs antirabies vaccine to be given.
Hence I advice to take him for antirabies vaccine.

Hope this is helpful to you.
