Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Rabies is 100% fatal but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment.
You should wash your wound thoroughly with soap and water for 15 mins.
You requires 5 doses of antirabies vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28. The vaccine should be taken on to the shoulder by intramuscular route.
Inj TT should be taken.
A coursr of antibiotic like Tab Augmentin, twice daily for 5 days.
Thank you.
