Suggest Treatment To Be Given To A Child After A Dog Bite
hi dr! my son (4yrs/6mos) was bitten by my in-laws pet puppy in his penis last 16th June 2011. he got his 1st shot for anti-rabies last 17th June, but not given anti-tetanus shot anymore as he just got vaccinated for DPT (5in1 vaccine) by his pedia in early January of same year...the bite was not so identified, but then we decided to consult for medical assistance. the medicine s name was Verorab. what are other treatments that my son needs aside from this action from the initial consultation? thanks!
